A great day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
We left Seathwaite Farm and enjoyed the morning warmth and sunshine as we made our way to the Stockley Bridge. We climbed by Taylor Gill Force and up to Styhead Pass where we had a little stop to enjoy the views, at which point the tops of the highest fells were out of the cloud. From the pass we joined the Corridor route which traversed up the fellside, and on which we gained great views down into Wasdale.
As we were half way up the Corridor route a layer of cloud rolled in and the top of Scafell Pike was swallowed up in this. Soon enough we were at Lingmell Col and making our way up towards the summit. As we reached the summit plateau the mist cleared to revealed some great views.
We descended by Broad Crag Col to Esk Hause, and then back to the farm via Grains Gill.
