Threading a needle in the eye of a storm
August 15th - Forecast out west ok
Another go at Needle Ridge and one more of NB's ticklist
Thwarted again by fickle weather, rock rapidly soaked in drenching rain cloud
But since we were already roped up it seemed sensible to climb up and over the neck of the needle to effect an escape.
So we did
Took a good look at Innonimate Crack - will be back for that
Back in Borrowdale the sun shone whilst the beers waited
Two hours walk in and about the same back, slowed by slippery ground, and twenty minutes of break. Total distance 6.2 miles, 580 metres of ascent - whopper.

Making it up
Wednesday 27th July
Had a ride out west in Multispace, various options considered en route.
Settled for Great Round How above Honister and some new routes, but then remade the plan with a sharp turn left into the Shepherds car park. Too nice to be driving and walking, so crammed three routes in, LC, DG, and BS.
Peter on P3, scene of some desperate struggles (by persons unknowm) later on, featuring falling specs and much wailing.
Fine position - don't deride it.

24th August
Gouther Crag, Swindale, Lake District
Looking down from top of Slab Route (S)
Also "Sam" (S) BP lead and Left Edge (AT,BP)
Looking across from Left Edge to climber on "The Dalesman" (E4)
Had to wind down early to get home in time for London Calling at the Sage.
Gouther is a good go-to crag, shortish drive, only Kirkby Stephen in the way, about an hour from Winston.
