Lakes climbing

Great weather in the Lakes this past couple of weeks and I've been out climbing most days.

I had a fantastic 6 days climbing with Will and Naomi. The week was a great mix of coaching/instruction in lead climbing, multi-pitch climbing, bouldering and training for climbing.

Naomi really enjoying her leading on 'Thomas' Wallabarrow Crag, Duddon Valley.

Will enjoying a warm and sunny Shepherds Crag, Borrowdale.

Will and Naomi topping out on 'B' Buttress, Dow Crag, Coniston.

We also had a great session bouldering at Hutton Roof working on technique. It's a great venue for this on th edge of the Lakes and easy access from Kendal.

On the Saturday I linked up with Nick who's coming out to the Alps in the Summer and wanted some pre Alpine training. We had a great couple of days. The first day we climbed a route on Raven Crag in Langdale and then headed up to Gimmer Crag, climbed a route on Gimmer up to the summit, traversed back across the hillside and finished up climbing on Pavey Arc - great day, great weather!
On the Sunday we headed up to Upper Scout and climbed a route there which led us into White Ghyll where we climbed before heading back down to Stickle Barn at the end of the day.
