Dunnerdale

Just myself and Jago attended this meet on a glorious sunny weekend. The heat was tempered by a cool breeze which made for good climbing conditions. 


Dunnerdale from Wallowbarrow


Jago was in need of rock mileage and I was in need of an easy day so we decided on Wallowbarrow Crag. A steady walk from the campsite took us to the crag and we started on Bryanston (MVS 4b). The second and third can be combined to make a good long pitch with some good steep climbing.
Next up was Digitation (MVS 4b) Jago led the first slabby pitch over an overlap and I led the top pitch op short steep walls on positive holds.

 Next Jago led Western Wall (MVS 4b). Again this climb benefits from combining the two pitches to give a good varied climb with a delicate traverse leading to a steep wall then a diagonal ramp to a steep finish on good holds.
Jago on the delicate bit.
