These are not my photos because I didn't go, choosing instead to spend some good time at the allotment, but when they pinged onto my phone via WhatsApp I giggled!

I remembered when Fi and I went to The Roaches a couple of years ago and climbed this route - Inverted Staircase ***D. I led it, got up to the platform and then realised that wasn't the end of it, I hadn't read the guidebook properly. The second pitch is up a not very big chimney, involving much squirming (and scraping if you're wearing shorts) with the gear around your waist hindering progress. Fi and I were laughing hysterically, interspersed with swearing, the whole way up. Good fun, as Caroline and the others found out!
