What a super day for an afternoon’s session on Manchester’s premier urban outdoor bouldering venue (Fallowfield). The small group gelled well and hold 16 IV the object of the first set of problems. The day ended with a couple of sitting start problems of which the most entertaining was the left arête of sector B to both hands on hold 19 in sector A. A police car and then a police van had a look at what we were up to but didn’t think us worth the trouble possibly because Mark was waving at them or the move over the fence at 5a (hard for the short) might have damaged their uniforms. As the holds disappeared into the darkness a small convoy headed into Rusholme and a true taste of India at the Punjab. Thanks to all who came.

Meet at the junction of Belvedere Rd/Brailsford Rd in Fallowfield around 2pm and bring some money for a nosh up in Rusholme later. Wet weather option will most likely be the new bouldering wall ‘Rock Over Climbing’ near Victoria Railway Station.
