New boots on Dow

Murrys Route S – shared leads. 

The second of our classic routes from Rogers book. We both bought new rock boots yesterday, much more comfy ones than the ones we use for the climbing wall. Mine were wonderful and Roger thinks his will be once he wears them in. Although he rubbed his toes before the weekend at Shepherds so only wore one and a big boot. Bit eccentric but it worked for him! Meant to take a photo but forgot. 
We parked at walna scar and walked up to Dow Crag, it is still a bit chilly but the wind has dropped. There were a couple of other parties on A Buttress but our route was empty. We went up Murrys Route S. Great route and down easy gully.

We then drove round towards Wasdale and parked up on Ullpha Moor looking our towards Birker Fell and further away Bow Fell I think. Beautiful sunset to end the day
