Lion and the Lamb
The snow was being stripped fast on Sunday, so rather than climb we headed up to the Lion and the Lamb for a ramble over the crags and hills near Grasmere.

As the M6 closed, we battled on through the Blizzard to the Lakes on Friday night. Greeted by mostly clear skies and high winds on Saturday morning, myself and Clay headed up onto Brown Cove Crags to climb Right Buttress Crack.
It was a fairly intense day with no goggles, heavy spindrift, 3 left gloves and chest deep powder in the gullies, but a good chance to try out the GoPro in some poor weather.
This weekend was the BMC's Expedition Planning Seminar at Plas Y Brenin. I delivered the opening lecture about the use of IT and Google Earth to aid expedition planning, which turned out to be a fairly unknown concept for many in the room both young and old!
