A good day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today, we set off from Seathwaite just after 9am following the path by Stockley Bridge to Sty Head. There were several icy patches on the pat, but nothing too bad today.
From Sty Head we climbed the Corridor Route to Lingmell Col, and from the col to the summit of Scafell Pike, there were a few patches of snow left as we climbed towards the summit of Scafell Pike but nothing we couldn't walk around. As we approached the summit we saw a glimpse of a Brocken Spectre bend us, it only lasted a few seconds though before it was gone again.
There was a little cloud blowing around the high tops today, but as we approached the summit of Scafell Pike it blew away giving us some fantastic views all around. Particularly the view of the Isle of Man sticking up through the clouds.
After eating our sandwiches on the summit we descended north, crossing Broad Crag Col and following the ridge over Broad Crag and Ill Crag before descending through Calf Cove to Esk Hause and down by Grains Gill back to Seathwaite arriving back at Seathwaite a little before dusk.
