Grey Crag, Buttermere Saturday 14 May 2022

[Brendan Caris]

Well what can I say, about a fantastic day’s
Climbing on Grey Crag. The conditions were
near perfect.
We all meet up at Gatesgarth farm at 0900hrs
to pair up who we were climbing with, ropes, racks etc.
The walk into Grey Crag takes about 1.5hrs to 2hrs up
A high mountain path to the foot of Harrow Buttress, the
Gearing up point.
From there we began to go our ways, to our first
Climbs.
To name but a few: Harrow Buttress, Chockstone Ridge,
Oxford & Cambridge Direct, Oxford & Cambridge Ordinary Route,
Mitre Buttress Direct, Return with a vengeance,
Slabs Ordinary Route and Rib & Wall.

Around 1730 hrs ish we began our decent back
to Gatesgarth farm. From there the Pub was
Calling to a few, for a welcoming Beer or two.

Well thats the end of a great day on the hill climbing.
We all look forward to a fantastic Summer, and more
Adventures to come.
