A ...Thank you for your efforts in researching this. A fascinating if sad story. We ourselves discovered the plaque in the boulder on 2 January this year while climbing Eagle Crag and Sergeants Crag via Greenup Gill. Despite it being a fine day, we shelved our plan to descend via Langstrath as we thought time was short and we didn't want to get stuck in unfamiliar territory in failing light. A couple of years ago we also climbed Glaramara from Stonethwaite, planning to continue to Allen Crags. This was in early March, with considerably more day length than these folk had, but again (because of wind in this case) we took the safe option - and still only just made it down in failing light. With the benefit of hindsight it seems to have been a foolhardy plan - but I can't guarantee that at that age i wouldn't have been tempted! Thank you again.
