Poor lad, whatever. Yeah probably Jacks Rake. There have been a few fatal accidents there. There’s a rock chimney where you need to do a rock climbing style bridging move to get up, which looks tossing mental at first sight, but it’s actually a lot safer than veering off to the left, where you can end up relying on narrow and often wet grass ledges. I fucking love the Lakes, but those mountains should never be underestimated. Tragic. Again RIP. Edited July 5, 2022 by owl71 Quote
