WatdaleHead1976FC was one of the hardest routes in the UK then !!!! I seconded Andy Moss up it having quite a struggle on the 6b moves above.Shortly after when attempting to second John Earl some Scottish guy fell and broke a crucial hold which almost landed on me! That meant that Smiley Kyley got the last ascent of the true route Uploaded: Nov 14 2011 07:31 PM By andybirtwistle (View all albums) 0 comments · 160 views |

Mike Arnold Borrowdale 4th Jan 86YES Jan 86. Notice the snow covered fells. It was -5 and we were heading up to find some ice on Great End.Mike wasnt keen and wanted to go for pizza in Ambleside so said he would jump in if we bought him a pizza.Well he did and much to Rick Barnes dismay I followed. So Rick had to do it as well!! Uploaded: Nov 14 2011 07:22 PM By andybirtwistle (View all albums) 0 comments · 154 views |
