Cautley Spout – back again…

Well I first saw Cautley Spout when I was about 14, I had been rock climbing for a few years by then and was leading trad routes and done one winter ascent, some one pointed at Cautley when we where at Fell End cottage and told me “you cold climb that in winter”.

Many years later and with a few disappointed visits tonight Simon, Roger, Gareth and I got up it.

The temperature had dropped today, after a trip over to bitterly cold Long Churns Cave with a group during the day a decision was made and we headed over.
