Lingmell, Sca Fell, Scafell Pike, Broad Crag, Ill Crag - 14th April 2018

Setting out from Seathwaite, under misty skies 

Wild campers by Styhead Tarn


Looking back on the brief tricky section of the Corridor route 

Wasdale 
A tarn situated beside the Corridor Route


Promisingly, the clag surrounding the tops starts to clear

Looking toward Sty Head tarn from Lingmell

Looking back towards Lingmell from the Lord's Rake

The Lord's rake was icy but not too solid to kick into. I used a shortened walking pole as a make-shift ice axe...

Symond's Knott

Looking over to Scafell Pike, the top of England

Wast Water

Foxes Tarn is relatively small 
The path down is quite scrambly


Eskdale 

Broad Stand would make a cracking shortcut but it is a grade three scramble and according to the guidebook 'even experienced climbers rope up' for the crux.


The route up to Scafell Pike is less deadly

Looking back at a wintery Lord's Rake

Looking from Broad Crag towards Great End

Looking back towards Scafell Pike

A little snow

Grain's Gill is cool

The day had brightened considerably by the time I was back at Seathwaite

Chilling later on by Derwent Water
