Starting to sound a bit hollow and water can be heard running behind it. Plenty of fat ice for screws Missed out first pitch. Rog led 2nd I led 3rd and he led mian final pitch.

Not entirely sure what route did. Started from Tarn on light to right of chimney pitch as team was on it(I think)and made it to the summit. Did back off steep ice pitch half way up. Had total meltdown, numerous rests on axes taken before retreat. Totally underestimated pitch and need to work on placing screws on steep ice.
freemanTom (Guildford MC) - 08/Jan/11 with Asbo

Not sure exactly what we climbed - apart from Birkett's Gully the whole of the rest of the crag seemed to covered in bits and bobs of ice (good from about 550m upwards). We solo'd the easier IIish stuff lower down in the centre of the crag then roped up for a steep and featured 20ft pillar which proved too much for us! Solo'd the rest and walk down the ridge in a gale.
iksander - 08/Jan/11 with freemanTom (Guildford MC)

First propper ice lead, oli's first time on ice. Oli lead main pitch on the right getting runners in the rock. Ice very good in places but not everywhere.

A busy day, had to queue/wait for quite a bit. Could take differing lines once above the first chimney, the actual grade depends on which line you take: some easy tech 4 if you take the steeper lines.

Peter Metcalfe - AltLd - 10/Mar/10 with Foggy

As the guideboook suggests....an excellent route....and in good nick (apart from the 1st pitch which we think did not exist on the day! and so skirted above) The main pitch (taking the lefthand line) was still perfectly formed and amazing to climb!

4:30am Alarm! 5:30am set off for the Lakes! Way, way, way too early! Slept in the car. Beautiful day right from sunrise, ethereal light on the hills from Shap into Haweswater car park. First car there, quelle suprise! Walk in knackering, (too much gear- I hate winter climbing!). First on the crag, Blea water flat calm, stunning reflections. Started off ok, followed easily. Higher icefalls more demanding, but got ip without mishap, just a bit scary. Great lead by Iain of a vertical icefall of cauliflower ice, tricky exposed exit. Appearently ice was crap and screws wouldn't have held! Gordon led last pitch, well knackered he was running on reserves of nervous energy. Left sacks at bottom which was a mistake as we were thirsty and hungry and missed out on a beautiful descent down the ridge. Cracking day!
