| It was a sweaty walk in to Dow Crag for myself, Brian, Ian and Jimmy and the smell of a dead sheep amongst the rocks and scree above Goats Water added something extra to the "ambiance" of the route! |
 |
| Brian and Jimmy gearing up at the foot of the climb; C Buttress - Ordinary Route, a Diff with three stars and 110m long. |
 |
| The route follows the the crest of the buttress, to the right of the picture. |
 |
| Jimmy leading, with Brian (hidden by Ian) and Ian. |
 |
| Ian coming up to the (2nd ?) belay. |
 |
| The guys on a steeper section of the buttress. |
 |
| The crux of the route, a slightly awkward traverse up to a flake (top centre where the rope disappears). |
 |
| Ian topping out at the last belay, at the end of the terrace of "Easy Terrace", with Goats Water behind. |
 |
| The descent route is down the start of the "Easy Terrace" scramble, in the centre of the picture, with climbers to its left. |
