Multi Pitch Climbing in the Lakes..

Mark and myself have been away in the Lake District for the last couple of days multi pitch climbing.

On Thursday we visited Shepherds Crag in Borrowdale, climbing 'Donkey's Ears' (S), 'Crescendo' (S) and 'Eve' (VS). While at the crag, another climber was sadly injured having taken a tumbling fall in the screes below the main cliff.

We were able to give brief assistance before Keswick Mountain Rescue Team turned up. The casualty then being evacuated to an air ambulance for onward transport to Carlisle.

Friday was a more "normal" day with a visit to White Ghyll in Langdale. The weather perfect with clear blue skies and excellent visability, making our ascents of 'White Ghyll Wall' (VS) and 'Slip Knot' (VS) even more enjoyable.

The weather appears to be good for the weekend also..
