The dark side

Keen to make the most of a good even a few of us headed down the Valley to a great crag called Yvone ( there must be a song in that)

From previous experience with Sarah i now keep a head touch in my cragging sack all the time and guess what.................... we needed it again.

So Kelly (the sandbag), Sarah (the head torch), Frances (the lens) Chappers (the chappers) and me (the mug) got stuck into as many routes as we could Sarah led the La route des Indes F 5c, Kelly and I did La dalle du caravanserail F6a which i found a bit hard and pummpy.

Then due to popular encouragement I got on Macao direct F6a+ , well Kelly said it would be really really photogenic............................... I should have asked the grade but vanity got the best of me.

Then Sarah did it when it was nearly dark and Kelly did it in the dark.

A great evening with lots of laughs, I wont mention the walk off, flip flops & Crocs

Anyway here's some pics
