Climbing at Stanage

[Trick]

Sunday was pretty cold but the friction was perfect for bagging a few routes at Stanage Edge in the Peaks. C+C welcome. All the shots were grabbed as quickly as I could because standing around in that wind was not an option! Most of my mate Steve's "grins" were more like grimaces!

The exposure on the last one is a bit pap but I still like it!

I like the last one, just needs some post. There is the beginnings of a rainbow in it too!

Yeah, I'm not very good at PP and photoshop so I'm not sure how to go about sectioning off the sky in order to up the exposure of the land and rocks. I've messed about a bit with the contrast and saturation on the last one to bring it out to what's posted here.

brillent pictures, 1 and 4 stand out best for me.

Im really going to try and get back into climbing again this year, its an awsome sport, and as you've shown excellent picture opportunities.

Thanks! Sadly it was a pretty dull day on the crag - the sun stayed behind the clouds most of the time over Stanage itself whilst bits and bobs of the Hope and Edale Valleys lit up every now and again.

nice captures and looks like fun climbing, is it well bolted for sport climbing? Any multi-pitch routes?

I think the pics nicely capture British climbing.

No bolts at all! Just gritstone trad climbing. The routes range from about 6m to 18m, Diff through to around E8! Managed to bag The Left Unconquerable at a stiff E1 5c!
