Lucky you didn't follow them up - the most dangerous things on crags are people. It's meant to be a good winter spot great end. I've been summer climbing in Borrowdale.

I've had a few forced nights out in the mountains in winter. When the darkness falls and the weather gets too bad to safely carry on. One time me and my pal were 14 hours curled up in what was effectively a bin liner during a windy blizzard. We didn't want to fall asleep, we were so cold, in case we didn't wake up again.
