Glaciaction

 September 10th 2020

Over the last few months NB has mooted the prospect of a return to Lakeland, and specifically another look at one of our regular later season venues, the impressive blob of rock roughness at the mouth of Combe Ghyll.....  Eventually the time and weather was right and we were up early and off to....

Glaciated Slab

The river was well up and took some crossing with the help of a handy walking pole.  No mishaps and we were up at the crag and climbing by 11.30, along with two other parties already there.  What happened to the booking system??  Anyhow the they were all good company and added to the enjoyment of the day.

The sun came out.

Briefly.

Stayed bright for long enough to get a route in.

It's the last for quite a while

Does well to hold it together all things considered

All well worth the Bothera

Great to be out amongst the fells
