With Rick Salter. We dismantled the cairn, or at least until we got down to small stones and mud, then gave up. Cairn re-built to one side. Maybe subsequent triggers will remove some more stones to eventually get to the bed rock and possibly reveal the bolt.

Last summit of a Nuttalling day Dow Crags>Old Man>Brim Fell>Grey Friar>Great Carrs>Swirl How>Black Sails>Wetherlam. Does it count that I hadn't clicked that there was a bolt there at the time I was there? I think I'll count it as a half bag!
