Wallowbarrow Crag, Duddon Valley Saturday 5 Apr 2025

[Mark Ward]

Well the morning dawned cool with clear sky and little wind, 13 members plus guest Andy together and Dave the dog gathered at Wallowbarrow Crag in the Duddon anticipating a pleasant days climbing. All of the usual routes (and some of the less climbed routes) received the attention this crag rightly deserves, the dry grippy rock, awash with gear placements and the sun on our backs provided for a fantastic days climbing and fun day out.

From the left routes inluded, Malediction Direct, Thomas, Nameless, Digitation, Agitation, Wall and Corner, Trinity Slabs, Sharks Fin, Sharks Fin Scoop, Paradice, Men of the Plough, The Furrow and Ploughmans lunch.

With me were Craig, Judith, Luke, Newbie Clare, Guest Andy, Ed, Jane, Mick, Aileen, Nick, Geriant, Ros and Andy B.

I hope I’ve remember everyone and all of thier conquests

Refreshments were taken at the Newfield Inn before we all journeyed homewards

Thanks to everyone who joined me in making another memorable day on the rock

The bar is set high, lets hope the season continues like yesterday

Cheers
Mark
