It was a delight and a privilege to head into the mountains with Pam on Sunday. It was a big day out but Pam is now down to 78 Wainwrights to go… 😀She has always walked with friends and has loads of experience but is keen to go solo in the mountains. We chatted about planning a solo day, we loved looking at the map and matching it to the mountains all around us…. oh and we did the bad step on Crinkle Crags and snuck up Bowfell via the climber’s traverse and the great slab! #LakeDistrict #Langdale #SoloMountainDays ...

Once it stopped snowing(!) it was great to put Nick’s hard work at the climbing wall into practice on the real thing at Twistleton today. Good footwork, great route reading. At the end we tackled a chimney, Nick planned to climb the wall on the right but ended up using all available rock and all available limbs - perfect chimney technique. And for practice I then suggested he climb down it 😁. Celebrated a good day out with ice cream 😎 ... See MoreSee Less
A fun day at Shepherd’s Crag 🧗♀️ Best route was the highly entertaining Donkey’s Ears 😁. Thank you @openascents for the opportunity to shadow you and pick up tips for teaching people as they learn to lead and working on this cool crag #MCItrainee #ILoveTrad #Borrowdale ... See MoreSee Less
We were promised sunshine and showers for this weekend’s rock climbing workshops and we just got the sunshine 😀☀️. Fantastic weekend, fantastic people. From those taking their first steps on rock, through to budding trad climbers looking very chilled as they got to stuck into placing gear whilst half-way up a rock face! Lots of laughter and learning, perfect days at the crag 🤩🧗♀️ #RockClimbing #LakeDistrict #ILoveTrad ... See MoreSee Less
