A great day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite today.
Starting from Seathwaite Farm we made our way to the Stockley Bridge. We climbed by Taylor Gill Force and up to Styhead Pass. The cloud was sitting on the summits, but it was gradually improving. 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 climbed higher we found ourselves up in the mist, and it seemed we would not be getting any views today. Soon enough we were at Lingmell Col and making our way up towards the summit. We bagged the summit and then got into the shelter out of the wind to enjoy lunch.
After our lunch we descended the steep slope to Broad Crag col, and then climbed over Broad Crag, Ill Crag and down Calf Cove to the top of Grains Gill. All along this stretch we had fine views of the rest of the Lakes. We enjoyed the final descent alongside Grains Gill.
