In this month's Crag Notes, Peter Goulding heads North of the Wall in Northumberland, to Crag Lough. "There's plenty there, especially in mid or lower grades, but the North facing location, loneliness, and scratchy plants give it a feeling of entry-level adventure. It is a taste of the esoteric, without needing an actual machete."

DOLOMITE Crodarossa Pro GTX 2.0

The Crodarossa Pro GTX 2.0 is a shoe designed for mountain approach and technical treks, like via ferratas and climbing paths.

Standing out for its cutting-edge features, it's crafted with Superfabric® woven, a technical material obtained by moulding onto a high-toughness fabric base tiny ultra-resistant plates which give it outstanding resistance to shearing and abrasion. The combination of an elasticised insock and a Vibram® Winkler Evo outsole moreover ensures precision and full control for each movement, guaranteeing at the same time stability and comfort, even on unpredictable terrains.

Added to this is the "Dolomite wrapping system", the new fastening created by Dolomite, with an elastic tongue and collar, which wraps around the instep and ankle, leaving wearers with a sense of comfort and protection for the entire duration of their activities. Crodarossa Pro GTX 2.0 is provided with GORE-TEX elastic lining, which makes it fully waterproof and perfect even for Autumn adventure.
