I last visited in the late 80's, Alan - not a pretty sight!

Yes, both excellent crags and very different to one another. Mr Spenser appears not to like dolerite? When I lived up there I used to solo regularly on Peel Crag (something I'd be loath to do at Armathwaite). Sunset (MS), Overhanging Crack (MVS) Tiger's Overhang (VS) are all superb routes, Karl.
