Some rocks near Sheffield

On Saturday, I got up at 6 and jumped on a train to Sheffield, and by 11 I was in the Burbage valley bouldering in the snow (finding the bits of rock that had stayed dry or already been dried by the sun).

Yet more rocks in snow

A small, gentle slab, with a bouldering mat at its base

Beginning to lose the light

Here's what it all looked like last June.
