Cracking conditions and some nice pics..... we have a family tradition concerning Penyghent, dating from the 1950's which involves a rite of passage for knipe sprogs climbing Penyghent from Dale Head when age about 6. This is followed by hot chocolate and teasted toecakes in the Penyghent café...and possibly followed-up by an exploration of Upper Long Churn caves as far as Dr Bannister's handbasin (depends on the weather!) Several generations of knipes have completed this minor challenge and I have grandkids demanding to be allowed "Up the mountain". So, I've a soft spot for the hill - probably the hill I've climbed the most - on one occasion, on the crags on the West side, being belayed to a nurse (don't mention this to Mrs K by the way)...... and it was my first propah hill age 11..... and teetering up there in the ice somewhat later.. and wild camps and bivis.... and all kinds of fun.
