There has been talk of Jacobs Ladder?

Anyone fancy that one, on hols for a bit so plenty of time to get something in the diary

Ladder's always good for me - shall we begin the 'which way round?' argument now or wait a while? :twisted:

Be nice to do it in the dry...

 

[elPedro666]

I'd be up for that Martin. Hopefully back home later this week for a while.

 

[drystonepaul]

I'll be there for a crack at the Ladder.

Headed Peakwards in the morning, don't think there's any need to recce the ladder as it's well rolled rock, but is there anywhere else it'd be handy to take a look at?

Loose plan at the moment is to make a loop consisting of the evil collapsed road climb, Rushup Edge, climb past the quarry and do the Peak Nat climb as a descent. Not quite sure how it'll link up yet, just about to get the map out!

Might add in the descent from Mam Tor to Edale and back up ( ) Chapel Gate (/Style?) if I'm feeling frisky.

All suggestions welcome!
