For many years we’ve had a Classic Rock page on our website, where we offer different options for completing all fifteen Lake District climbs in Ken Wilson’s Classic Rock book. We’ve had few takers over the years, but we haven’t yet completed all fifteen with any one client. Tom Hiley and Charles Eggleston have been clients since 2019, and between them they’ve done lots of different things with Chris, including a visit to the Cuillins, Mountain Leader assesment, and lots of climbing in the Lakes. Last year they came up with a new challenge for themselves, and they asked Chris to help them complete it. This is their story so far…

I often use Stickle Barn crag in the Langdale valley for Single Pitch Award courses, but on Sunday it was our venue for a day of learning to lead. Dad and daughter team, Tim and Kirsten Bishop, have been out with us several times before, and it is great to see their progression each time they come back.
