Classic Borrowdale climbing! Two main buttresses, North buttress on the left and South buttress on the right.
Home to the deservedly popular Troutdale Pinnacle (S). Other classics include The Shroud (VS), The Mortician (HVS), Troutdale Pinnacle Superdirect (HVS), Raindrop (E1), Prana (E3) and Grand Alliance (E4).
A twenty minute walk from parking in laybys just south of the Leathes Head Hotel (if you are very lucky) : otherwise Park in the Bowderstone NT car park and take the path from the north of the car park and cross the low col and follow the path into Troutdale until it starts to level out. Cross the beck and ascend the path to the base of Black Crag (about 2km plus 125m of ascent – approx 45 minutes).
The weather forecast for Tuesday is currently rather mixed, with a 41% probability of heavy showers around lunchtime, diminishing slowly through the afternoon. Thursday’s forecast is far worse, hence there is nothing to be gained by delaying the meet.
I intend to be at the crag around 4pm. If the forecast worsens significantly, we will meet at King Kong climbing wall around 6pm. If there is a change will let you know via WhatsApp.
I hope to see you there.
Cheers, Steve.
