A great day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
We set off from Seathwaite at 10am and climbed by Sty Head and along the Corridor Route to Lingmell Col, here we were rewarded with some great views over the Irish Sea to the Isle Of Man.
We climbed the steep slope to the summit of Scafell Pike, now in firm snow and took a break at the summit, sheltering from the cold wind. The summit was in cloud so there were no views today.
From Scafell Pike we descended north to Broad Crag Col, there was a little more snow on this section than at the weekend, but nothing too hard, we crossed Broad Crag and Ill Crag before descending by Calf Cove and Esk Hause (there was much less snow here than at the weekend) descending below Great End and onto the Grains Gill path down to Seathwaite, returning to the farm at 4.15.
