A great day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
We set off from Seathwaite at 9am and climbed to Sty Head, the skies began grey but as we climbed up the Corridor Route to Lingmell Col.
There was much less snow today than there had been the past few days, as we passed the 2000ft mark there was a little more, but it was very soft and wet until we were on the last climb up to Scafell Pike.
There were some great views from the summit, but also a strong wind so after a quick photo stop at the summit we retired to a shelter for our lunches.
After a short stop we continued, descending the steep slope to Boradcrag Col before climbing again over Broad Crag and Ill Crag descending out of the wind into Calf Cove.
There were great views as we descended over Esk Hause and down below Great End onto the Grains Gill path, gatting back to Seathwaite just before 4pm.
A great day on the fells.
