Lower Swirl Crag

A compact outcrop sitting just above the forest on the eastern side of Thirlmere. The climbing is in the upper grades and the routes are serious undertakings due to the lack of reliable protection in their lower reaches. However, the climbing and rock are first rate and the two distinguished lines of Frank and Californian Weirdo are actually well protected. The short approach makes it ideal for a quick visit and it is a lovely spot to climb in the evening.
