Call of the Raven

August 5th

Raven Crag Langdale
Apparently the weekend conditions resembled a monsoon out west but - undeterred - a plan was made to venture into low level Langdale - the quest for dry rock was rewarded with four good routes on Raven and East Raven.   A few mind games needed winning - and by the end of the day the photons had so much E=hf that an extended break - drinks@H&F - for tales of derring do seemed the right thing to do.




BP gets Elevated



A fine position at the end of a monster heavy-lated  run out - two ropes at 35m.... blimey

BP expletived!


Langdale looks spectacular

BP at the foot of Baskerville which follows the steep skyline arete


Twin ropes come into their own
Yellow gets clipped into a cluster of pro up on the right....





So good gear in by the right foot - what's left is partially in the body and mostly in the mind.

Minced about whilst BP read War and Peace -  finally manned up and got it done.





BP followed with a great lead up the brilliant Ophidea - has to be 3 stars
















Rockin in the TT
