C led to the shoulder, I led to the top - much harder and boulder than I remembered it being, no idea how I can have thought it reasonable at VDiff (which it got at the time)! Worth a star for the history but the climbing's nothing special. In-situ tat on the summit and the shoulder, when did that all appear?

Again with another partner who refused to lead to top block as it "looked scary". Managed to find a decent bit of gear on the top block this time off to the left, a funny nut. Couldn't get the rope hooked right in the crack, think it has something to do with where you're sitting on the Needle. 1.5 friend VERY useful!

First major walk in we've done for a climb and the day turned out to be quite an adventure! Walked in from Seathwaite via the Scramble next to Taylorgill then along the Climber's Traverse from Styhead pass. Worked the start of the second pitch mainly due to nerves and secured belay with loops down to 2 breaks and a third loop to my second. Belt and braces but good practice although time consuming! My second put loads more gear in on the way down to protect my descent which was a very good move. Ended up walking back with head-torches on! Left a blue no7 rock under the block after spending 20 freezing trying to remove it.

An epic day. set off at 8am from Leeds. Took the direct route up Gable via the screes. Very hard work. The first pitch was fine and a good sling was all that was needed for the anchor. Could have done with more large gear. The second pitch was scary as hell. Lots of good gear in the first break before a frightening move out over a 100 ft drop. Then an unreliable looking nut goes in the corner on the left hand side before you top out. To anchor I dropped loops of rope down and hooked them round the breaks about 4 feet below. My advice would be to leave the gear in place for the descent as the descent is even worse. Especially if you get cramp in your thigh. Surffing down the scree was great fun though. Take some old trainers and see how quickly you can get down.
