Multi Pitch Climbing in the Lakes..

Darren, Luke and John were out at the weekend climbing with members of the Marylebone Mountaineering Club (MMC) in the Lake District.

The club had a climbing meet for all members in Eskdale. With the aid of some funding from the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) they were also able to combine this with some training for members in multi pitch climbing.

Despite some wet and chilly weather on Saturday Goat Crag and Wallowbarrow were visited, and with better conditions on Sunday teams visited Wallowbarrow and Raven Crag.

Wallowbarrow is a great crag famous, in part, for the route 'Thomas' which sports a small "John Thomas" spike which is essential to negotiate the crux.

Anyway..
