CPD and Rock Climbing at Dunkeld

Yesterday I attended a British Mountain Guides CPD day. The day was based at Bendrigg Trust near Kendal and focused on placing bolts and assessing the strength of existing bolts. It was a very useful day with lots of interesting material.

Today I have been climbing in the sun with Gayle at Dunkeld. Even with the forecast air temperature of 9 degrees the crag was lovely and warm. We climbed 10 pitches at the Polney Main Crag, Ivy Buttress and Upper Buttress areas.

The crag was mostly dry with only small areas of seepage around some cracks.

The second pitch of Ivy Crack. Missed out by most climbers who abseil of the tree part way up the route.
