RAR_20100320(route)
Very windy and frequent cloud at higher altitude, the date was 2010 March 20th. Some snow had not thawed. This ascent was attempted on the 18th, but visibility was so bad the walk was abandoned.
1. Very hard climb up to the Old Man, especially snowy final 200m.
2. Scramble down from Great How Grag not for the faint hearted.
3. Mix of natural and industrial views, makes you realise how hard life was.
4. Outflow from Low Water was worth the hard work.
