A small selection of my photos from a day out with Pete Robins and Ian Parnell, taking photos for CLIMB magazine Stomping Grounds, in which Pete highlights some great pieces of Slate esoterica. Ian has some more photos of me and a brief description of his side of the story over on his blog, ian parnell photography.
Anyway the photos Ian has of the quarryman groove are awesome, I am sure your see these iconic images in print in the next month or two. I literally can’t wait!
Pete Robins uncharacteristically seconding me on Pitch 2 of Released From Treatment – Rainbow Slab E6 6b.
Rock over left, rock over right, the way of the rainbow
Pete on Released…
Pete psyching himself up for the traverse of Release from treatment.
Pete hanging around throwing shapes for the camera on the quarryman grove.
The rather exposed take off point for the abseil into the groove pitch of the quarry man.
Ian parnell – The way of the photographer, loaded up with ropes and cameras, still good alpine training for those legs! He was the most ready for the shale approach after numerous Himalayan and Devonian shale fests.
