I don't really know the area at all for climbing. Which crags would be in the best condition at the moment? Single pitch is fine, but multi-pitch would be better.

Thanks,

Mathew.

Depends when you want to go. For tomorrow i'd head to the Napes area of Great Gable then onto Westmorland crag, but when it cools down again they'll both be a bit chilly.

In reply to A Mountain Journey: Thanks. It'll be next Saturday actually. Not sure where to go, just wondering where's best to consider.

Buckbarrow at the bottom end of the valley can be in nick should the higher crags be wet. I have turned up when the crag is wet and it has dried at a rate such that we got a full day's climbing done. There is some part of the crag that is in the sun for most of the day. Just ten minutes from the road.

In reply to Bob: Thanks, that sounds a good option to consider.

Or Kern Knotts and then on to the Napes. I've had an excellent borderline weather day doing that.

In reply to Jon Stewart: Already done it.

Read up on the history of english rock climbing this where it first started and was first recorded

In reply to stuart58: I have, but I've got a terrible memory. I suppose I could read and forget it all over again.
