Scrambling in Langdale

We had intended to climb but as the weather looked decidedly iffy we thought it best to have a good scramble than just get to the crag and get rained off. As it was it stayed fair but Pavey Arc was a bit greasy so probably the best choice.

We set off up Mill Gill and I had forgotten how much I love scrambling as it has been a while. At the top we headed up to Tarn crag which we noted when we got home that we had been there exactly 10 years ago to the day and been up the same scramble – The Spur – grade 3 – We had just as much trouble finding the start! From the top we went past Stickle Tarn and up Jakes Rake. We looked up Gwen’s Chimney which looked wet. We last went up there with Mary as a party of three. Re visiting climbs that I have done with Mary is always brings back memories of her. 

Excellent day…………….
