Awesome photos from our Matterhorn training weekend in the Costa Del Lake District this weekend. 🏔☀️🧗‍♀️🇬🇧🍺 - Ben who guided, and writes; “Saturday, with a brilliant forecast we headed to Langdale with mileage on rock and moving at alpine pace being the key aims.. We began at the ODG and scrambled up Raven crag, before heading onto Loft crag then back down to the South Face of Harrison Stickle. Jacks rake in descent, as descending is a key skill for the Hornli route. A final ascent of Harrison Stickle, this time from the East face and back to the Stickle Barn for a round of well earned refreshments. Sunday, we headed to Dow crag. Still T-shirt weather in the LDNP. The longer walk in provided valuable time in the mountains and the team were keen to get onto graded rock climbing terrain so the 3* classic Giants Crawl was the perfect route. Just time for one route today before the long drive south. Great effort from the guys and best of luck with the Matterhorn and bigger objectives in the future!” - Wow! That’s a brilliant couple of days, and some of the best training terrain in the Lake District. Well done all, and get in touch if you’re jealous, and want to organise a similar training weekend... _______________________________________________________ #climbing #scrambling #alpinetraining #lakedistrict #cumbria #langdale #matterhorn #icicle #iciclemountaineering #inspirationalmountainadventureholidays @ami_professionals @bhumphris1 @tonybrownlee1 @a7summits @iciclemountaineering
