Unleash the barr

In November a trip to Stanage paid out for Chris Barr, with dispatches of both Deliverance 7B+ and Zippy’s Trav. 7B. Sadly he’s now suffering from an ankle the size of a balloon. Get well soon mate.

Christine

Gav Symonds made the 2nd solo ascent of Ken Palmers Christine an 8a DWS at Long Quarry Point recently.
