Mid-week climbing

The weather just proved too good and tempting not to take a day off mid-week and find some nice warm rock to play on. The forecast was for strong blustery winds high up so we decided to stick near valley level (as had others we saw at the crag) and so we found ourselves at Raven crag in Langdale. Dare I say it but it was almost too hot, on a south facing crag in full sun, cloudless skies and a warm wind!! Still it was utterly beautiful and lovely to be properly warm in this country!! We stuck to the single pitch routes on East Raven crag as we'd not been there before. Not amazing routes, not necessarily worth the stars they all get, not always got the most gear, but still pleasant. And definitely better than being couped up at work.
