A wonderful, dry and not so common autumn day, with the sun warming this beautiful gritstone edge. The combination of good weather and a local crag tempted out a lot of members, families and friends, with the creche once again in full swing.

Like all meets there was a lot of climbing done with the usual mass ascents of all the old classics including Heather Wall, Sunset Slab, Trapeze etc and the usual entertainment provided by the intrepid or foolish attempting Tody's Wall. Mention has to be made of a particular brave leading attempt by Sheena, who was so close to taming the beast and just seemed to lack confidence at the crucial moment. However with the mass audience gathered above and below, offering advice or alternatively moving in for close up, white-knuckle photographs, who could blame her for feeling phased.

The now traditional Lee family three-generation climb of Sunset Crack again took place and hopefully will be repeated next year.

Thanks to everybody for a thoroughly enjoyable day, with great weather and amazing company. I hope to see as many people at Froggatt Edge on my meet this autumn and hope that the weather will be as good.
