From the snippets I overheard about schedules and comparisons to others she’s moving extremely well, with a continually evolving schedule. I think Simon is to thank for that. There could be some exciting dot watching this week.

Northern Exile May 2022 10:48am, 11 May 2022 8,825 posts	0 Northern Exile Carol's line down Yoke looks like a good one, setting her up for a much more amenable ascent of Troutbeck Tongue. This is clever work, that descent is truly horrible and there is a enormous cleft half way down that effectively precludes you from traversing left (assuming you are still on your feet). She must have lined her descent up to cut left well before it. Impressive.

phal May 2022 11:02am, 11 May 2022 4,025 posts	0 phal General bits of chat at the changeovers we were at pre and post Carol arriving were about the intelligent choices of line being made while out on the fell and slight route changes that were suggested that made it better. I am obsessed with the tracker currently 🤣 We said the same NE when looking at the tracker line.
K5 Gus May 2022 11:12am, 11 May 2022 5,141 posts	0 K5 Gus I don't know much/anything about Carol - is she local to the Lakes and likely to have worked out these alternative lines herself, or will she be relying on her pacers for the best lines ?
