Final Day on Shepherd's Crag

Focused on the traverse of Ardus (HS)

After a demanding week of ticking some of the Lake Districts Classic rock routes we opted for the short walk in and cafe of Shepherds Crag in Borrowdale. The rock was dry and we quickly cruised up Ardus (HS), Eve (VS), Little Chamonix (VD) and Donkey's Ears (D).
This week I have been working for Adventure Peaks.

The exposed traverse of Eve (VS)

The crux of the easy classic Donkey's Ears (D)

Evidence of rock fall at Shepherd's Crag - been here years and the tree is now growing around the boulder.
