[boulders at base of cam crag , 3 kb]A good grade 2 scramble on clean rock. From the path up Langstrath head up to the bottom of the crag. The initial buttress is reached through a jumble of large boulders. Climb diagonally left across the face, and up the wall on good holds to finish up a narrow ridge. Move up to the main ridge. Take the obvious diagonal crack up the steepening into a short chimney. Big holds on clean solid rock. The steepness then eases, before the next rock band . Follow another diagonal sloping crack up the next steepening again plenty of big holds. Keep to the nose of the ridge and further rocky steps interspaced by short grassy terraces. Follow these rocky steps to the top.

Climbed in high winds with susie, her first scramble, kept well to the left so was a lot easier than grade 2. Would go back to do again.

Excellent route. Showery, overcast day, but rock stayed nice and dry, lots of grip. Enjoyed the crux and there's just about enough interest throughout.
