Shepherds Crag, a perfect autumn day at the crag!– visited some of my favourite belays – rescued a rope and a nut (the latter now reunited with its owner thanks to tough tags)– Nick’s first multi-pitch lead 🧗I’ve been working with Nick since the start of 2024. His goal is to become an independent trad climber, with an ascent of Little Chamonix on the tick list for this year. We manage to grab first spot in the queue yesterday and had a sociable time navigating the slabs, grooves, overhangs and crazy exposure on this awesome route. This was followed by a relaxing afternoon on Jackdaw Ridge where Nick was let loose on the sharp end of the rope to experience the joys of questing upwards to seek out the holds, gear and belays on this lovely 3-pitch route.Photos:1: pitch 1, Little Chamonix2: 3rd belay, Little Chamonix (pic: Garry Fellows)3: pitch 3, Little Chamonix4: pitch 4, Little Chamonix5: unknown climber on Porcupine6: Jackdaw Ridge belay7: top of Little Chamonix#lakedistrictclimbing #tradclimbing #borrowdale #amiprofessionals #girlswhoclimb … See MoreSee Less

Summer’s over but autumn is still a fantastic time to climb! I have lots of instructing and coaching days booked in with people keen to learn the basics or sneak onto that route that has been on their tick list for 2024… also taking bookings for walking and navigation days in the beautiful autumn colours.In the meantime, to celebrate the start of the gritstone season, yesterday at Rylstone I: dropped my grade to Severe, placed a tricam (husband stole my rack for the day so I had to get creative), pulled on pebbles, smeared on nothing, squirmed up an offwidth (necessitating removal of my helmet), cried whilst seconding a horrible bulging crack, and walked out in the dark. 🍁🧗#tradclimbing #gritstoneclimbing #girlswhoclimb #knowyourlimits #jamming … See MoreSee Less
