Borrowdale Multi-Crag!
Steel Knotts and Shepherds Crag
A pinging Autumn day - dreamed up this combination en route, some new leads for me - multi-crag option takes some doing to move on and get started again but perfect weather - so has to be maxxed up.
Today's Best of Borrowdale
Steel Knotts
BP gets some good gear in on the intimidating start of Route 2
Lobbing a leg over
The fine corner of Ambling Ant is on the left
More leg lobbing on Ambling Ant
Couldn't locate BP's recommended nut slot so fiddled a decent cam in a pocket
It's there!
(from 2011)
An exposed slab and a semi detached block add some interest to the finishing moves of the amble.

Next Stop - Shepherds Crag
Via the cafe for some cold drinks
Two more good routes - finally got that Ant Highway lead done (looked at it last May but was too cold and windy)
BP on CDM
Steep, positive holds, great gear
Someone else on CDM
Where is the tree?

It's all about the first 5 metres
