Led 2 pitches from the Crevasse at top of Jones's Route to Low man. Tricky to get into chimney as guidebook says, but straightforward thereafter. Got some rope drag. Helen led the final pitch across the arete.

Classic traditional Chimney, which requires traditional techniques and can easily thwart a technical climber, it's not a thrutch mind. Absolutely loved it, one of the highlights of a dry week's climbing in the Lakes

Very good especislly on top of the pinnacle, which Rick led up onto. Drove back and rick made the mistake of ringing Carol, Oh dear!! Could see it wasn`t going to last!
