"Cut loose to heelhooks", says the guide book.
What it doesn't say is that FBD is perhaps a bit ambitious for a warm-up on a very cold day |

Steve again, topping out on Central Trinity (Adrian's photos); and bringing up Stuart, with another climber alongside on Meiosis (?) |
Central Trinity was my best lead to date (and I took my first proper leader fall in the process)
Why we didn't climb at Stanage on Sunday, but went to Gardom's Edge instead!
Tim looking extremely relaxed on Central Trinity, Sharon even more so
[Did I mention that I led Central Trinity?]
This is how it's done, it's easier if you traverse
lower down
Yeah, right, it's also easier if you're a good climber .....which Sharon certainly is
