Slate Grit take 2

Slate Grit - Imgur

Here is a link to the pictures from the UK.  I ran out of space on my google account and can't be asked to pay for more, so I have decided to host them somewhere else until I figure something out.  The last post still has all the pictures, but they are linked through imgur which makes the page really slow.

Slate and Grit!

Four days after returning from Austria I went off to Wales on a climbing trip with the UCC mountaineering club.  We planned to stay in Wales for 4 days and climb.  I got roped into n additional 4 days with a couple of friends.  We eventually got chased out of Wales by the weather and went up to the gritstone.  We ended up being on the trip for 8 days, and had a blast.  I definitely want to go back to the gritstone at some point when I am climbing stronger.  Charging my way through final exams now, stoked to get back to the states.  Hope you enjoy the photos.
