Great Gable climber's traverse in the Lake District, UK. A lot of scrambling up over rocks and waterfalls, nice climb in the middle called Napes Needle (HS) full of polished handholds as it's the first recorded climb in British mountaineering, first climbed in the 19th century I believe. After the needle the going gets more tough scrambling up small faces rather than scree and clear paths; at several points we were all well aware that a mistake would result in death, a friend actually dropped his rucksack, we could see it rolling down the mountainside for a good kilometre. All in all a good outing though.
