Marlene Direct.. felt like vertical face sport 6b+/c to a good rest then a short balancy V4 crux on the top arete. Not complaining mind, lovely route!
From the other channel“There’s a parking spot in Calver on the little one way stretch of road between the village green and the football pitches. Walkers etc have historically left there cars here for the day. Just a heads up that all the cars parked up there today had their tyres let down, some multiple tyres. there were people waiting for recovery when Mrs Paul in Sheffield was out on the dog walk. One unfortunate had all four tyres let down. There’s a lot of rumblings from locals about the increasing numbers parking up around Curbar Gap and Stoney. I’m not sure what the answer is, but this isn’t going to go away in the near future I don’t think”

No police report, no locals including the eyere arms across the road, no garage has said anything , no one saw anything, I drove past and didn't see any mass servicing of cars to re-inflate as it would of been about 10 that needed helping. The rumblings are aimed at the general mindless throng, not climbers and walkers who are amongst the best behaved. I have to say as well some of the vitriol aimed at locals who dare to voice concerns is a bit out of order. People live out hear with familys and work and carry on like everybodys else does. Because they have got angry at someone who was shitting in there back garden they are now a pitchfork wielding redneck
There do seem to be a lot of people out who look like maybe they're not used to it..
One of my favourite feelings in the world is the feeling of all body fatigue, like you've had the shit kicked out of you, that you get after a day spent being battered by the wind on an exposed moor.It was very windy yesterday. When we were driving home and the kids had fallen asleep she turned to me and said, "I feel completely fucked". So good to share that feeling with her.

Whats peoples thoughts on virus transmission from using the same holds? Bouldering especially, i can see it being less of an issue on routes that might only be climbed every few days.Thought this thing lived on surfaces for days so this might be a bigger issue to overcome than the 2m social distancing.
my shoes & pads are all a 2hr drive away... Does anyone know the legality of picking them up?

Does anyone know the legality of picking them up?If you and the stuff is all in England I would just go pick them up. No limits on driving any more, and best to get them now before the next lockdown...
