The Climbing Clan April Ambleside weekend was a trip of many stories: ‘ Of learning how far Dow Crag is from the road
‘ Of Peter’s highest grade lead on trad yet
‘ Of Ryan missing the end of his route by about 10m
‘ Of me standing on a precariously balanced slab of soil and realising it wasn’t the right way
‘ Of fantastic food from Alex’s skilled hands
‘ Of really run out routes on Scout Crag
‘ Of Mat’s first multipitch trad lead
‘ Of Andy’s first outdoor second(?)
‘ Of jolly scrambles up Jack’s Rake with mum
‘ Of games involving slings that should never be mentioned again
‘ Of sitting around campfire beneath LOTS of stars
‘ Of Jake paddling in Stickle Tarn
‘ Of an entire rest day for me where I mainly sat and looked at the view
‘ Of cuddles with Alfie the adventure-dog
More soon please!
