Ok then, what about Roundhill that’s a flat and short walk.

Reasonably ;-)

Good crag though. Not much in the higher ranges but a pleasant circuit below that. Plus a savage crimpy "7A" and a nails pop to a sloper.

So I may be able to deposit the student at destination - check into my B&B and be ready to go from Reeth about 5:30-6. Which gives me time to get to Slipstones (or other crags) and back etc...

There are a few things that Mike Grey did that he seems to have never recorded further along to the right of the crag as you look at it. Also he did some stuff in Arnagill in the 7b/ c range which probably will have returned to nature by now.

Will have to run it by the boss, but I might be able to join you for a Slipstones hit!

Not been to Arkengarthdale more's the pity - total shame about Crag Hill, class venue and Roadside Arete is super good..

If you're going tomorrow then it's going to be scorchio and connies at Slipstones will be very much sub-boss. That might not be a problem if you're keen to bask. With the sun being so strong, you might find Crag A is nice - shorter walk in and shady in the trees. Most climbs are in the 6s as well so you won't even feel pressure to pull down too hard! Obviously just check there's no lumberjacks around.

True good point. See what I feel like (bimble on warm rock or pulling hard on shady trickier stuff). Never know what the connies will be like up there anyway.
