Raven Crag, Langdale - loose rock update

Posted by Tony Ryan on 14/05/2010

The loose block above the third belay on ‘Centipede’, reported last month, has now been removed by a local climber.

The climber reported removing a small amount of loose rock from the top pitch of the route, as well as from the hillside above and to the right of the route.

Thanks to BMC local access reps Stephen Reid and Peter Latimer for providing this update.
