A job shared is a job halved they say. Or they don't, but I do. Someones in a job share with me and I don't know who it is, least to say, we are doing a bloody good job so far - so all good!
I tool up to Yarncliffe Quarry today and arrive to see 2 more routes have been cleaned for me since last weekend. It all feels very Blair Witch set amongst the trees and I find it hard to be please as I'm so perplexed. But hey ho - onwards and upwards towards Inverted Jigsaw and then onto a climb which is a direct start to Angular Climb - which is VD tastic and a great alternative start to a well trod climb.
A great group of first time climbers are on the wall instructed by a seasoned experienced climber and banter gets going so much that Monty gets to grips with the heather as well as the rock and I have a novice cleaner helping me!
My Traverse "Highway 61 revisited" gets a good clean while the chaps climb and have an absolute ball - enjoying every move that is took in the spirit that it should be. I'm happy for them - they give me refreshments and look after Sara - what a great game this is when you have the kindness of strangers.
Job sharing today has been a great lesson in helping each other scratching backs - as good climbers do. Still I wonder, who is helping me from afar. No worries - its all good!
Piccy is of Grimer on Aphid's Wall - VS in 1991 guide - guess the grade now??
