Scrambling 1st Feb 04

Here are the best of Dave and Evan's photos from the climb of Sharp Edge on Blencathra in the Northern part of the Lake District, on Sunday 1st February 2004. It was cold, wet, windy (gale force at one point), hailing (horizonally in our faces in the gale force winds!), snowy, icy, slippery... but good fun!

I'll put the photos in order and caption them when I have time, but for now, enjoy these photos of Phil, Evan, Glenn, Dave and Jimbo on a big mountain!
