I went to the Peaks for the first time last weekend.  I have lots of things to say about it (in particular: in Pride & Prejudice, there is a scene where Keira Knightley is standing on a cliff, and I was like “Hollywood, please.  that is not England.” I stand corrected).

This is ME climbing gritstone in the Peaks.  It was only my second trad climbing experience, but hopefully the second of many.  I’m already making plans trips (plural) to Wales and hopefully the south coast this summer, even though weekends are already awfully few and far between, even at this early stage in the summer and with this miserable weather.  There is SO MUCH FUN to be had!
