Raven Crag, Combe Gill Tuesday 6 Jun 2023

[Tina Holt]

Hi all,

So another day of perfect weather and crag conditions has been booked for Tuesday 6th June. If you are wilting in the heat, then west facing Raven Crag (Combe Gill, opposite Dove’s Nest Crag) will be a shady escape, once you’ve completed the 45 minute walk in.

Plenty to do in the Diff to VS range including the classic Corvus which I recommend if you haven’t already done it.

Approach
Climb into Combe Gill but stay on the right hand side of the beck. The crag is the obvious clean outcrop of rock just to the right of the head of the combe. 45 mins from the road. Parking is on the RHS of the access road to Thorneythwaite Farm. Access to the parking area (NY256140 (ish) is just before you reach the Mountain View cottages, coming from Keswick.

Pub afterwards: Scafell, Rosthwaite, according to the KMC website.

I will be setting off from Kong in Keswick at about 3.30pm, so if anyone wants to share a lift from there (or if anyone has questions), get in touch via KMC whatsapp or tinaholt2004@yahoo.co.uk.

Tina
