Overnight at Fairbank
Middlefell esoterica
Middlefell Butress P1v1 (S) BP
Arrived just behind large group from The University of Cumbria doing leader training - buttress festooned with students, ropes and instructors. After first pitch abandoned into the gully and climbed up to check out the routes revealed in the new guide on the upper right hand wall.
Unknown climber on P1v1
Halfway up the steep gully
V tricky ground
Abundance of atmosphere
Backed off
"Albino Hare" (MS)
Gareth (HS)
A little run out in middle section
BP contemplates heather filled finishing crack
"Good value"
Descended via Gimmer track and aimed for Revelation on Raven Crag
This was in use by the only party on the entire crag! - so carried on to East Raven.
"Mamba" S4b
Stopped by crux at 12m
Reversed moves and handed lead to BP, found the key foothold that opened the sequence
Climbing locations
and intervening meanders
