Shepherds Crag

Today we started our journey of completing all the classic climbs in Rogers book ‘Classic Rock’.It was a lovely day one of the first nice days of the year. After calling in Keswick to get a new rope, well two new half ropes. They are lovely and very light, we also had a coffee and cake at the wild strawberry. We headed down Borrowdale to Shepherds Crag. After another pot of tea we headed to the crag. It was very quiet and there was no one on Little Chamonix so that was our first climb. Our next was Brown Slabs Arête which was excellent but not on the list of classic climbs so another visit will have to happen!
