Wild is the Wind

Tuesday April 16th
Borrowdale Multicrag
Once again resorted to ALT-Plan (3rd time in a row)
Way too wild to chance East Raven so headed for Borrowdale

Quayfoot Buttress
.... was in the exact opposite of this condition

So left it alone


Walked round to Woden's face.
Once the outdoor group had done with abseiling ventured onto Wimpy Way (S).

Wet at the bottom, and the top, avoided the worst using the left hand buttress to finish, good gear all the way




NB topping out in fine position.


Finished up at Shepherds.  Contemplated Ant Highway, but big gusts added to the intimidation factor and left it for another day.  Jackdaw Ridge in big boots - then a diretissima on the slabs in the glorious sun and a belay in the full force of the sou'westerly.
