taken 11 years ago, near to Deepcar, Sheffield, England
Nuts and hexcentrics
Protection devices, as carried by a climber on Wharncliffe Crags. A very large number of neatly arranged nuts and hexcentrics. Wharncliffe Crags has a long history of rock climbing and was at the forefront of the birth of the sport in the 1880s. Climbing legend James W. Puttrell pioneered many routes. By 1900, the crags were the most popular climbing venue in the UK. This was helped by the presence of the (long disused) Deepcar railway station. There are over 140 climbs on the crag.
