High Wythow 410m   Long Crag 421m   Kitty Crag 435m   Wetherlam 763m  Black Sails 745m

Scramble up Long Crag Buttress grade 1**

I thought that we had gone up long Crag Buttress Scramble before and when I got home I checked and we did in do it in June 1997.

After the scramble which was very enjoyable we spent some time hunting out the tops of High Wythow, Long crag and Kitty crag. We then headed to Wetherlam. It was pretty windy at this point but it did drop later. I cant really remember going to Wetherlan before but the view from the top were superb. There was a bit of snow at the top. After going over Black Sails we dropped down to Swirl Hawse and Levers Water and back down to the start.
