Rich "the Natural"

Another trip up to Beacon Hill, with cracking weather.

Rich here had never climbed before but flew up everything and did some fantastic moves. Here he is topping out on V-Gully, the route that defeated Alan in last friday's blip. Alan conquered it this time.

Really enjoying climbing again. Just doing everything on a top rope to get some confidence and having a laugh with mates. Fantastic.

I wish this was the start of summer and long evenings, rather than the end.
