Shining Clough - August 2005

A KMC meet at Shining Clough in early August. Lots of climbing pictures, plus a few shots of the wreckage of the crashed B29 Superfortress on top of Bleaklow.

Although the original meet leader was unable to attend, the meet led itself and a great day was had by all. I won't attempt to list all the routes that were done but notable ascents were a new route by Dave Wylie (named it yet Dave?), failure on a route by somebody who thought the route he was on was several grades easier, and a route that took so long the belayer needed to have a toilet break while the leader 'hung on'.

A good time was had later in a local drinking establishment; unfortunately food was not on the menu for me, who held back for an hour before ordering only to discover that the kitchen had closed!
