Climbing at Markfield Quarry

At last we managed to get out climbing for the night. The weather has been nice and dry all day and the sun was just right for some climbing at Markfield Quarry. It’s a litte known spot in Leicestershire that has some good really routes. We only managed two of them tonight, both on Bettys Slab:

  • Go Home – 12m Diff
  • Clearway – 10m Severe

We top-roped both the routes from two big boulders at the top.
I managed to get a couple of decent photos:

With any luck we’ll get out more often now, especially now I’m in Loughborough and summer is here.
