My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership Number: 3812 First Fell Climbed
My 214 Story Name: Christopher Taylor Membership number: 3812 First fell climbed: Coniston Old Man, 6 April 2003 Last fell climbed: Great End, 14 October 2019 I was a bit of a late-comer to the Lakes. My first visit was with my family when I was 15. We rented a cottage in Grange for a week at Easter. Despite my parents’ ambitious attempts to cajole my sister Cath and me up Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, the weather turned us back each time. I remember reaching Sty Head and the wind being so strong my Mum was blown over. My sister, 18 at the time, eventually just sat down in the middle of marshy ground somewhere below the Langdale Pikes and refused to walk any further. I didn’t return then until I was 28. It was my Dad’s 60th and we took a cottage in Coniston in April 2003. The Old Man of Coniston became my first summit, and I also managed to get up Helvellyn via Striding Edge with Cath and my brother-in-law Dave. Clambering along the edge and up on to the still snow-capped summit was thrilling. A love of the Lakes, and in particular reaching and walking on high ground, was finally born. Visits to the Lakes became more regular after that, but often only for a week a year as work and other commitments limited opportunities. A number of favourites established themselves: the Langdale Pikes; Lingmoor Fell; Catbells and Wansfell among them. I gradually became more ambitious in the peaks I was willing to take on. -

The Geology and Petrology of the Ennerdale
THE GEOLOGY AND PETROLOGY OF THE ENNERDALE GRANOPHYRE. ITS__ METAMORPHIC AUREOLE __AND ASSOCIATED MINERALIZATION A Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Lewis Clark. Department of Geology, The University of Leeds. June, 1963. a b s t r a c t The E n n e r d a l e G r a n o p h y r e occurs in the Latte District between Buttermere and Wasdale. It is a stocK shaped, composite intrusion which was emplaced at the close of the Caledonian earth movements. The country rocks of the granophyre are the Borrowdale Volcanic Series and the Skiddaw Slates. The oldest rocks in the Ennerdale Granophyre are a series of dioritic rocks which have been largely metasomatised by the later granophyre magma into a series of granodioritic hybrids. Eighty percent of the outcrop of the Ennerdale Granophyre is occupied by a fine grained granophyre, the Main Granophyre. The youngest rocks associated with the granophyre: are a series of fine aplitic microgranites and rhyolitic felsites. Metamorphism by the granophyre has been very slight. The main changes in the Skiddaw Slates are a change in colour and an increase in hardness, but the slates in places in Ennerda.le have been soda—metasomatised. Macroscopic changes in the Berrowdale /olcanic Series are negligible, but there have been important mineralogicalL changes within a narrow aureole adjacent to the granophyre. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This research was made possible by the award of a D.S.I.R. Research Studentship. I am extremely grateful to the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research and Professor W. -
Pillar Rock and Neighbouring Climbs

The Climbs:— Pillar Rock 141 West Cove 168 Great Doup 170 Hind Cove 170 Scoat Fell 172 Mosedale 173 Overbeck 177 Buckbarrow 179 Crag Fell 181 V. Classified List of Climbs 182 PREFATORY NOTE. It has been my endeavour to make the Guide as accurate as possible, and with this in view it was decided that all the descriptions should be first hand ; which, of course, involved the going over of each climb personally. It is of some con siderable satisfaction to myself, and those who helped me in the work, that this high aim has been carried out, except as where indicated, e.g. MaUory's Climb, and even here much time was spent in trying to locate the route. 130 THE FELL AND ROCK CLIMBING CLUB JOURNAL. This task was utterly impossible without help ; and I feel very much indebted for the assistance given by Messrs. H. Coates, J. H. Doughty, R. E. W. Pritchard, Morley Wood, and Mrs. Eden-Smith. Pillar Rock is not at one's backdoor ; so many visits to Wasdale were necessary. But this side of the matter was infinitesimal compared with the patience required, and good temper needed, whilst surveying the climbs. One specially remembers, in this connection, five of us spending five hours doing the North West Climb in heavy rain, and the cheeriness displayed by the party under fearsome and depressing circumstances. That day will live in memory—for the leader at least, I fancy—to the end. -
