All Day
Location
Grey Crag, Buttermere
Meet organiser: Mark Ward
Pub afterwards: The Fish, Buttermere
Categories
The forecast for Saturday is currently dry with a small chance of a shower. Recognising that the forecast can change day by day at this time of year I will monitor the weather and make a final go/no go decision late Thursday/Friday
Grey Crag has a good selection of quality routes up to 40m long on several buttresses which link well together to give a good days climbing across the grades. At the lower end the best routes are Mitre Buttress Direct(VD), Harrow Buttress(D), Slabs West(HS), Suaviter(S), Oxford and Cambridge Direct(MS), Dexter Wall(VS).
Approach: One and a half hour uphill walk from Gatesgarth Farm, perhaps less for the very fit. Alternatively walk from Buttermere, takes about 15 minutes longer
Parking: Gatesgarth Farm charges £4 to park but there are other places nearby.
Contact: If you would like to join me please let me know, DO NOT use the reply function provided in this email, instead contact me directly by email (markward1962@gmail.com) or text (07500155064)
Car Share: If you would like to car share from the Wigwams (Lakeland Business Park, Lamplugh Rd, Cockermouth) please include that in your response
Cheers
Mark

Morning all,
