Trad climbing in the Lake District and my first lead climb... | Gimmer Crag, Brantrake Crag

Video #4: This week we are in the Lake District for some trad climbing, whilst we wait on a good weather window for our Cuillin Ridge attempt. We make the most of the sun and start to tick off some classic mountain crags. We head to Gimmer Crag to climb Ash Tree Slabs (VD) and "D" Route (S 4a), but we weren't off to the best start as the fear had arrived and the tears were flowing... The next day we head to Brantrake Crag, where I try my first trad lead... #tradclimbing #lakedistrict
