It was great catching up with Huw and Jo last weekend, but I admit to being quite envious that Huw is actually being paid to go to Joshua Tree in California to climb (not fair)!

However I didn't need to worry, as I spent today at Twistleton Scars in the Yorkshire Dales and it was pretty good. Sunny, and at times pretty hot all day, fantastic views, and miles of limestone climbing (well maybe a mile!). Sadly no Joshua Trees, but some beautiful ancient yew tree's, buzzards and the ever present view across to Ingleborough one of Yorkshires 3 peaks.

It was a fun family affair today with Ben, Jane and Isaac and I think we got in 6 climbs from VD to VS. Weirdly, or probably not for people who have been here before the first route we did (VD), was actually the hardest, in fact VD's felt like VS, Severes felt like VS, Hard Severes felt like VS, and VS's, well you get the idea. This is all due to the amazingly glassy polish on the foot and hand holds.
