The Slimey Roaches Minithon

I was the first there...

...it didn't look very promising (the upper tier from the roadside)...

...the Roaches mystically shrouded in misty mist stuff. We eventually got started. This is Mr Burns in a blur shooting up Right Route (VDiff).
Look at the slippery, slimey stuff! (...... Buttress) Shall we do this route or not then?... ...err, no, I don't think we'll bother.. ..Don't like the look of that either!
Burnzee starts up Fern Crack (VDiff). Awfully slippy at the top. Fern Crack from a slightly different angle, Expert photography by Mark Tolver. ...and further up Fern Crack.
Aah that's better! Steve gets the fruit cake out. Thanks Mrs Pardoe!! I sort of did Maud's Garden, with a bit of a variation off route for good measure (follow the rope!!). Me with a grim face looking down at the damned strange route that I've just done!! Gem tackles a particularly tricky bouldering problem.
Mr Tolver starts Valkyrie... but didn't quite finish. Ooh.. it's us! L-R Adrian, Mark, Ant, Stuart and Steve. It comes to something when you have to get your dog to help you carry your gear up to the crag! The latest range in dog panniers modelled by Gem. Funnily enough, it looked much nicer as I left!!
