Another day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
We set off at 9am and followed the path to Sty Head in intermittent light drizzle and climbed onto the Corridor Route following this to Lingmell Col, the drizzle continued for much of the day and at around 2500ft we reached the cloud base.
From Lingmell Col we climbed to the summit of Scafell Pike, reaching very wet snow at around 3000ft, it was quite windy on the summit so we got the storm shelter out and stopped to eat our sandwiches before continuing along the ridge, descending quite difficult ground to Broadcrag Col before crossing Broad Crag and Ill Crag to Calf Cove and Esk Hause, now out of the snow.
As we descended below Great End by Ruddy Gill we emerged from the cloud and followed the drove road back down to Grains Gill and the path back to Seathwaite.
