Indian Summer bouldering Gardoms Edge

Mark’s Roof at Gardoms North, and the permanently sunny road leading back into Sheffield

Warm and still yesterday (22/9/2012) bouldering at Gardoms Edge on the Northern Bouldering Circuit.

The big moor which contains Gardoms and Birchens Edges has been dog friendly for some years now. However the Highland Longhorn cattle have moved in which has resulted in Noodle sticking close to my side as we cross to the crags. On a practical point, they’ve churned up the wetland so much now that even after a relatively dry period, the mud is very deep in parts of the paths.

Finally actually managed to at least get established on ‘8 Ball’, not sure if I’ll ever get any further though.
