Cheque Pictures

🍁 Grit Trad Week draws to a close for another year but the nice autumn weather continues so let’s all get out there.

This final picture is Dan Leicester just below the crux of Billy Whizz At Lawrencefield. I took this while photographing someone on a route to the right but this turned out to be the best photo of the night 🤷‍♂️

Lawrencefield really was the crag of the moment during the super dry 🦴 spring we had this year, with the bouldering becoming popular, new highballs done, old routes cleaned and lots of traffic on the popular ones too. I reckon that, with a very small number of exceptions that have been left to nature, every route at the crag saw an ascent in late April/ early May.

Thanks for looking at my pictures this week. It always gets me psyched to take more! ❤️

Blue skies for the fifth day of Grit Trad Week ‘25 so here’s a nice sunny picture.

It’s pro climbing instructor Gus Hudgins hard at work on the crux of Crack & Corner at The Roaches Upper Tier. There are two routes with this name in the Peak, both in the lower grades and both brilliant. If you haven’t done either of them what are you playing at?!

This is the sort of picture that works a lot better on a bigger format than Instagram. I actually took it in 2022 when I had plans to do a grit trad calendar 📅 that, for various boring reasons didn’t see the light of day. Maybe that’s an idea I’ll revive at some point. 🤔

Two more days left! Stay tuned.
