Pics from Troutdale Pinnacle : Steve Pardoe with David Raper and Steve "Blofeld" Currier, 24. February 2000
Castle Crag, Direct Route pictures
The approach to Black Crag
Blofeld trying to look "balletic" ("Pathétique", certainly)
That's more sensible
Dave "I like belaying" R
Dave, looking to get some gear in to protect the exit from the super-exposed slab traverse
Moving up ...
... and onward
At the Pinnacle, among the windier belay places
Now it's my turn to cross it
That's Derwent Water down there ... ... a long way down there
Dave at the belay on the Pinnacle. It's getting dark now
"Snap!"
Blofeld comes up
Steve on the final pitch
"Where's that jug?"
"Got it!"
Looking back up into the gloom
Steve & Judy Pardoe
