Scafell Pike from Seathwaite

A mixed day climbing Scafell Pike from Seathwaite.

As we left Seathwaite and headed towards Stockley Bridge we were caught in a couple of showers, and the showers were on and off for most of the day. As we reached Styhead Pass it seemed the low cloud was slowly lifting, but it was unlikely we would get views from the top of Scafell pike. We joined the Corridor Route and climbed well up to Lingmell Col. After the final steep climb we reach the summit of Scafell Pike, and after a few snaps we headed for the shelter. After a spot of lunch we descnded past Broad Crag and Ill Crag. Just above Calf Cove the mist cleared through and we got some great views of great Gable and Kirk Fell. The afternoon got better as we descended down Grains Gill as it seemed to get a bit brighter and the views down Borrowdale were great.
