Optimism won the Scribble debate, and was rewarded with a dry evening, no guns, but plenty of mountain rescue folk out training (not on KMC members).

Present and climbing: Paul Marsden, Andy Coulson, Nick Adamson, James Williams, Gareth Williams.

Routes climbed: Orange Wall (VS 4c), Orange Crack (HS 4b), Parallel Cracks (S 4a), Forked Cracks (VS 4c) and Central Crack (HVS 5a).

Lessons learnt: tea CAN be drunk through a midge-net!

Voted in for next week: Helsby.
