Some rocks near Sheffield

[rydra_wong]

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).















Here's what it all looked like last June.

Millstone grit is sometimes referred to by British climbers as "God's own rock", because it's so wonderful to climb on.

I was just climbing on the small friendly boulders, not the big gritstone edge you can see in the background of the first picture.
