Eastern Empire

After a glorious weekend of Lakeland sunshine you'd expect there to be some news on the development front... and if that's the case you'd have been correct. Greg Chapman has added a groovy addition to the Langstrath circuit. Eastern Empire (7c/V9) climbs the steep vague groove on the east face of the Austria boulder from sitting and involves some truly excellent moves.

With a beautiful location, flat walk-in, swimming hole and fine problems such as Eat Yourself Whole, No Pain No Gain, Bonsai Your Cat and now Eastern Empire Langstrath is definitely worth at least one visit for any climber operating in the 7a/V6 to 7c/V9 range.
