>>Hi Tony.
Loved the Sunday pictures of Keswick, especially the view looking up Borrowdale, brought back old memories.
The Keswick Mountain Rescue base looks awesome; it's come a long way since I climbed in Borrowdale.
This picture was taken about 1958, the Land Rover drove down the track past Hollows farm, where we were camping, and we followed. They had stopped near Castle Crag. The climber was lucky to survive the fall. As I remember he led the first pitch, belayed and brought his second up who climbed through. He fell and was held just short of hitting the ground, then the leaders belay failed and he fell all the way to the ground. My longtime friend, hiking and skiing buddy since 1967 passed away last week at the age of 90. I will miss him.
All the best, Fred. Woodinville, Washington State.

Climbing in a beautiful location, the goal is not to power my way up but to become for that moment a part of the landscape, part of the rock.
