Bowfell Area Conditions 31-01-12
After another cold night with cloud blowing through from the East some Lakes crags have come into great condition.
Today North Buttress Bowfell, Bowfell Buttress and Cambridge Crags were all in great condition. The turf was well frozen and the crag frosted up in the wind.

The Gnomon (VII/8) was also climbed today as well as Bowfell Buttress.
Should be some great climbing conditions over the coming days, Gable should be good, Engineers Slabs was climbed yesterday and was good. Get there while it lasts!
