Pennine Lines w/c 5 August 2024
Mountain scrambles are one of the few facets of climbing which is still fairly untainted by tech, gear, and the superfluous paraphernalia. There’s a real freedom to be had, a raw and total experience, even on something as well travelled and busy as the Yr Wyddfa / Snowdon horseshoe, or some hidden exposed ridge tucked away in quiet corner of the Lakes. It requires some focus, some effort, and it’s always repaid with a day out to linger in the memories.

It's a short one, due to various logistical headaches this weekend, so I thought this was a good opportunity to simply direct everyone to the Crag Clean Up day that Outside are once again running this summer. Sat 17th August is the date for your diary. These are great events for the local crags and climbing community (and it IS a community) and a great use of a day which, lets be honest, will be too warm for any serious hard pulling. So it’s worth checking out if you’re in the Peak that weekend; get involved and make a bit of a difference. Big shout out to Outside for taking the initiative to organise and run these days year in year out. It would be great if more brands / walls in the Peak and further afield followed Outside’s lead with stuff like this (nudge nudge…).
