Robinsons Cairn



I accompanied Colin, Croak and Nick along with FRCC president John Robinson to rebuild Robinsons Cairn (no relation) on the high level route to Pillar Rock. The cairn was in a poor state when we arrived (below left) and needed to be demolished and re-built. The finished result looked much better and is a more stable structure.
The day was completed by a walk over Pillar summit via the Shamrock Traverse, Steeple and Red Pike descending to Wasdale by the Dore Head screes (not recommended).
Fellow Arete MC members Bev and Jago climbed Rib and Slab on the west face of Pillar Rock.















Welcome

Welcome to ClivesBlog, I will be posting news of my climbing exploits but at present I am nursing damaged ribs due to a mountain biking accident.
I will shortly be setting out on a sailing and climbing trip with friends Colin and Bev round the Mediteranean calling at climbing areas in Italy and Corsica. I hope to post news of our trip subject to wi-fi availability.
