Dollywaggon Pike area - Winter climbing

Paul Rose & Scott and I went to Tarn and Falcon crags on Dollywaggon Pike on Sunday 31st January. After img_0475.jpga relaxed start, they climbed & then descended Tarn Crag Gully 2 and then nipped up Dollywaggon Gully. This is a great soft touch grade III with the difficulties concentrated at the chockstone low down and in the icy top pitch. Great fun but the route is now suffering from the many ascents its obviously had recently. It’s well chopped up and there’s some loose rock around the chockstone.
