Christmas Crack 2008

Crouching Tiger & Hidden Dragon?





















Not a bad crowd turned up at Stanage popular end on Christmas Day morning!
What were they all doing there? Of coz they were there to climb Christmas Crack.
If you look really carefully, you should be able to make out the guy climbing in a tweed jacket, plus fours, flat cap and red socks, carrying some old style rope and an alpenstock.





















Here's the chap again. See the alpenstock dangling between his legs?
I would have taken a better close-up picture but was too lazy to move... luckily somebody else did and here's a link to it.














There was a bit of a long queue for climbing Christmas Crack, so we did a couple of routes to either side of it instead.
Here, Leopard is doing one of his fine crouching tiger move (the guy in blue climbing)...





















Lion seconding Hargreaves Original, attempting one of the very difficult crouching tiger or hidden dragon moves... you can decide which one it is













As for me, I was keeping myself occupied with the mince pies and chocolate while the others were busy climbing!

Oh... and we have been captured in one of Mick Ryan's photos too...
look here...

oh and another one here...
