The Dilly Stones- NEW Eskdale Venue

I have developed a new area, which incorporates various granite blocks and walls, scattered across the hillside between Eel Tarn and Eskdale Fell.

The venue offers a number of sectors, with the first being immediately north of Eel Tarn and the highest concentration being the cluster a further 800m directly north of the tarn (linked by an obvious flat path).

Apex Shredator (7C+)

There’s a good spread of grades and some really eye catching lines. A selection of highlights would include; Apex Shredator (7C+), A Dilly of a Pickle (6B+), The Big Dilly (6A+), Soulshaker (7C), Instant Crush (7C) and Close to my Hart (5).

I’ve written up most of the problems over on UKClimbing (there’s ~15 still to be added) and included relevant descriptions, parking and approach info.
