Crazy,Funny,Cold,Climbing,Camping...

Just Got back and i am so tired, top tip:Don't take the bouldering mat!
First night:
My brother got off the train at Hathersage,and the doors closed and left him outside, so we had to get of at Bamford and arrange to meet him at the North Lee's campsite, that's where the trip started.A very long walk in (5miles*) with the bouldering mat that had 6 cans of strongbow,A jumper, and a big jacket shoved inside it,AND my 88ltr army rucksack with clothes,food ( for 4 days),full trad rack,50m rope, all cooking stuff including two gas canisters,5 bottles of lucozade,harness,two pairs of climbing shoes, etc,etc,etc and well if you really want to now how it went ill cut it a little bit shorter, first night i top-roped a E4 5c (onsight with one slip) at Stanage Plantation which Franco Lead.Got on 'Right unconquerable' (lead) but needed a bit of help on the mantle (i went to much to the right hand side) then onsight soloed an HVS 5b, and that was it for the first day, woke up went to Burbage north did 25 routes, all solo's VS 5b/5c's and HVS 5b's and some easier stuff.Long Tall sally looked shit so i wasn't physced to do that, especially after doing 25 routes all ready.Next day (raining) so got drunk,walked to Hathersage, eat, tried to chat up some lasses then went home, 'physco legs' was off walking somewhere. I have missed out about 99% of the stuff but thats the trip in climbing terms, ill post loads of pics withing the next couple of days.
