Summer's Gone??

After a very busy spell I managed to have a weekend off! To try and make the most of it Martin and I headed off to the Lake District. Dow crag is situated a short and enjoyable walk(1 hour) from Conniston! Unfortunately it was very cold - both Martin and I were dressed in full water proofs and had on all of our warm clothes - even so I spent the whole day shivering... There were a few other parties out but most were keeping to the lower grade climbs due to the cold conditions. The picture above is of the 4th pitch of Eliminate A, a classic 6 pitch VS situated on 'A' buttress.
