    Help! (Scurion charger needed for trip to Mendip)

    I'm travelling down to Mendip this weekend from Yorkshire and have realised mid drive I've left my scurion charger at home! Do any knowledgeable/local folk know of where I could purchase another or even have one I could possibly rent or borrow at short notice? Thanks, Matt

Retraced our steps as far as the previous pitch but were obviously unable to ascend. The bag is a Aventure Verticale watergrille with a 30m ish length...

    Yockenthwaite pot - first pitch

    During a trip up on monday we found the spit attached to the protruding block on the first pitch looks pretty worse for wear. The thread completely turns in the rock whilst trying to tighten it up and we ended up losing a bolt as we couldn't get it back out. Had to resort to some exciting...
