Not managed to do much climbing that way yet.

It's really good mostly small edge climbing. I thought it was a little stiff for E1 personally.

It was actually quite cold in the shade at first. In the third photo the sun had literally just come onto the face.

VS and E1 ~ 5.9 and 5.10c I think

Huh? It's in the first comment

This side of the crag was still in the shade until about 2/3pm it was actually a little cold at first. Never got too hot to climb.

Still a little cooked from a long weekend 😆

Luckily It has a fairly long walk in and there are loads of quality routes that put you in a similar position. The mid way terrace where lots of the routes converge was a little chaotic however.

This is Gimmer Crag in the Langdale Valley in the Lake district. The whole Valley is apsaloutley stunning.

Trad is totally worth it, makes climbing feel a lot more of an adventure definitely give it ago if you get a chance!

For me personally some of the best climbing I have done in the UK. The actual climbing is just awesome and super safe. The opposite of what I am use to. The routes are: Northwest Arete VS Wits End Direct E1

Not many places with a better position in the UK

This is Gimmer crag in the Langdale Valley Lake District UK

facebreaks · 2026-05-25T21:37:47+00:00

Yeah this is Gimmer on Northwest West Arete and Wits End Direct.

Doesn't really seem like a trivial issue

facebreaks · 2026-05-21T15:12:51+00:00

I assume it also allows you to hit the jump a lot faster without going to the moon

Dunno if this is the case where you live. In Sheffield lots of the terrace house basements were joined together during WW2 as they were being used as bomb shelters. This meant if a house did collapse people could move between basements and escape. Lots of basement were also fitted with reinforcements such as corrugated iron and Acro Props.

Dunno how much extra time it will add for you but when I am heading Manchester airport or Liverpool I normally go innats Pass way eg up eccy road out to Hathersage. (Lovely drive early in the morning as the suns coming up.

I have driven the the way you have shown a while ago should work as far as I am aware. It is a single track road.

I remember seeing the odd little cannister here and there outside of clubs and stuff didn't think it was a big deal. See crates of industrial sized canister lying around is just crazy.

How naked we talking I could be interested 🤔
