Fell & Rock Climbing Club

There has always been good gear up above the starting ledge, just before making the first moves right onto the wall. This is even better now, with modern cams (eg black Totem). To place it only requires stepping up about half a metre (4b) then back down again. Describing the start as unprotected E2 is misleading as people will be less likely to look for and spot the gear or may not fancy the route in the first place. With the gear, the pitch is a consistent E1 5b all the way and as good as any pitch of that grade in the Lakes (and therefore in The World!).
