The top picture shows the hairy one on Cardinal's slab and the bottom one shows me on Cardinal's Crack.

Sandstone Rocks!
Everyone knows Southern Sandstone is the finest rock known to man. Unfortunately I am often compelled to climb on inferior media such as Gritstone, Rhyolite or ice.
Last week we went to Yarncliffe Quarry and enjoyed some of the mid grade gritstone and sand slab routes. Cardinal's crack was especially enjoyable as the hairy one hates fist jamming, especially when it is wet and damp, even though he was seconding on a very tight rope. His Royal Hairiness made up for this with a couple of good leads on Latecomer and Cardinal's slab.
I must also admit to appplying Southern Sandstone ethics to the bold Ant's Arete, largely due to needing rescuing from a lead attempt.
