Glen Campbell 1936 - Aug 8th 2017
After sticking to the grit for a few sessions good to get chance to head west for a quick hit - time a little limited so the crag of choice for ease, quantity and quality has got to be;
Castle Rock of Triermain
The day got off to a rather poor start with news of the closure of the A66 - scooted round via Middleton in Teesdale to Brough - lost about 25 mins but rewarded with great views of the Eden Valley, brightening skies and a dry crag.
BP opens the regular circuit on Lilith
Simply whistled up it
The rock is impeccable. AT eyes up the finishing corner on Slab Climb
Note mimimum rack!
(been up here before)
The corner yields to a variety of approaches
None of them wrong
All of them good
From September 2013
The Gman on the move
Another superb outing up the groove on Wall Climb
Ready to rock over in an exposed position
Broody view to Thirlmere
AT on the often ignored lower pitch on Gangway Climb
Well worth doing, logical, consistent and safe.
Time to move round onto the front face
BP nerveless on the steepness, boldness and directness of the first ten metres of Direct Route
Doubtless undergraded at 4b
Higher up in the company of visitor from Inverness, making nice work of Gazebo next door.
It looked quite hard.....
Kleine Rinne translates as Little Gutter
Another steep start leads to fine and varied climbing with a bold crux
BP on P2, a delightful finale to an action packed day out
AT watches from a bong-tastic belay
L-R
Direct Route
Kleine Rinne (climber on P2 as per BP above)
Gangway Climb
Whupped em again Josie!
