Troutdale Pinnacle
Borrowdale, English Lake District

Pics from Troutdale Pinnacle : Steve Pardoe with David Raper and Steve "Blofeld" Currier, 24. February 2000



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
