Lucky white heather to start your week.
We spotted this on our HML assessment on Bleaklow this weekend. Wether you believe it has been turned white through tears or natural genetic variation causing a lack of pigment, it is still a rare and special sight.

The weather did improve from stair rods to heavy drizzle after we spotted it, so it must bring luck!

May you have a lucky week 😀

Today was the first outing for our new Wide_boyz crack gloves. Kat and Seb wore them on the 3rd day of our 5-day Learn to Lead course. They were both genuinely excited by how easy the gloves made jamming.

Thanks again to Pete Whittaker and The Crack Climbing Community for the gloves.
