Tuesdays venue is Yew Crags / Maidstone Buttress. The weather forecast looks dry in the afternoon, (some disagreement between forecasters) and its a fast drying south-west facing crag so this meet is currently on, but I will keep an eye on the forecast!
Yew crags consists of several buttresses about 15mins walk from the Honister pass road in Buttermere. Parking is roadside. Climbs on the crags start with the odd climbs D to S, and starred routes are from HS to E2. Zorro Buttress (25mins walk) is slightly further along and higher on the hillside, this has starred climbs HVS-E2.
Maidstone buttress is also 15mins walk from the road slightly closer still to the head of the valley, with routes in the VS-E2 range.
I intend to be leaving Cockermouth area at around 2.30 – (I could meet people at Low Lorton at 2.40, by the bus stop, plenty of parking) with a view to be at the parking in Honister at around 3.15pm. I will head initially to the Yew Crag Knotts area.
As the crag has slightly dispersed buttresses please let me know if you are going to be there and which buttress you are heading to. If new to the club, or on your own, please come and find me. Although better still organise lift shares and arrive together!
