A fine day for a stroll up Roseberry

Roseberry was busy with many taking advantage of the November blue skies. The rockface looks as though there’s been a bit of a rockfall with patches clean of weathering. I haven’t heard of anything though. The main crag was exposed in the major rockfall which occurred in May 1912 when the shape of the summit was dramatically altered. Technically though this was a rotational landslip when the soft underlying shales slid downhill undermining the stability of the sandstone capping which soon followed.
