Can anyone suggest an area in the Lakes to introduce someone to mountaineering skills this week.
Not looking for a graded route on say Helvellyn or Great End more an area of crag/broken and mixed ground with various steepness that we can play around on and I can introduce them to a range of skills including foot work, rope, belays, placing gear and so on.
We tried a couple of weeks ago and I took them up (as a 2nd) a graded guidebook route but my friend freaked out with other climbers overtaking and the amount of ice/snow being kicked down on to us.
Any suggestions for an area of fell or crag would be appreciated. I used to love Brown Cove crags for this type of stuff as you could wander all over the place without it getting to technical but now it seems very busy every time I go near the place.
Cheers
