 After a great night out at The Queens (thanks Jane) five hardy souls John Holden, Jane Metcalfe, Sue Greenwood, Phil Wilkinson and Malcolm Dunning met at the Penrith Wall car park at the unearthly hour of 9.30, all bright and bushy tailed, or so it seemed.
John had planned to “do” Pinnacle Ridge by the route described in the Scrambles guide but was led astray by Phil who insisted on going on to the lay-by at Deepdale Bridge. Poor John was now totally confused, wrong side of the hill and all that (the first signs of an accumulation of Unicorn bitter) so the baton was passed to Phil who led us off up untracked fell sides, by Aiken Crag up on to Trough Head and Birks.

 The highlight of the month just had to be the weekend at Lagangarbh, with a bit of place juggling towards the end we occupied the hut as an enthusiastic group of twelve, sadly again Ian could not make it and Marnus, stiff from a hard days loading trucks on the Friday, could not in the end make it either…..or maybe it had something to do with The Springboks stuffing the English 36-0 on the Friday evening?….Oh the shame of it!

Attended by an enthusiastic (self-proclaimed) elite: Jo, Malcolm, Phil W, Dave and Sue. Jo and Malcolm even managed a slightly loose multi-pitch on the way there. The forecast was grim but optimism as usual was rewarded. We had 2 splendid days as long as we kept away from Nant Peris! Tremadog on Saturday saw ascents of Christmas Curry, Valerie`s Rib, Merlin and One Foot in the Clouds, ably led by either Jo or Phil, (with good moral support from Malcolm for Sue when she considered being feeble). We just escaped the end of the day drizzle.
Sunday-we either stormed up “Direct” on Milestone Butress and then scrambled up the North Face of Tryfan to bright sun at the top or eagerly seized the big jugs and ledges of Pulpit Route, a welcome change from the greater demands of Tremadog, especially carrying sacks. Altogether, another excellent weekend. |

An early getaway to beat the poor forecast for the weekend saw Sue and myself enjoying steep limestone at Ravensdale; “Ploy” VS 4c,4b,4c worth the drive down on its own! Elliot and his brother in law Craig also early arrivals at Thorpe Farm, having had a warm up on Stanage. By the late evening all ten of us were comfortably installed ready for tomorrow`s action.

 After an abortive start, John led the first pitch up Mallory’s Slab and Groove to get to the slabs. Route finding was difficult from the start, as the guidebook was very vague about the route to be followed. After 5 pitches of padding up fantastic Gabbro slabs we were unsure about whether we were on the right route or not, but decided to continue Sron na Ciche nevertheless, looking for the easiest route to the top from where we were. As we climbed, the wind picked up and it got cooler, so we had lunch in a sheltered gully at pitch 7. We were really enjoying the climbing, but I was getting tired and hoped that we were nearly at the top.
