Brown Tongue with Scafell Pike straight ahead and Scafell to the right, seen as I headed off left up Lingmell

The view from Lingmell to Broad Crag

Looking back to Lingmell from the climb up Scafell Pike, the top of Great Gable is behind hidden in cloud

On the summit looking towards Broad Crag and Great End

Looking down to Piers Gill with Lingmell to the left

Dropping down from Scafell Pike onto the ridge across to Broad Crag. There were some decent sized snow patches around for mid April

Back to Scafell Pike

On the rarely visited top of Broad Crag. The little pile of stones is what passes for a summit cairn, not much of a reward for the efforts of scambling over huge boulders to get there!

Esk Hause and Allen Crags, which I had a quick excursion up before heading down to Wasdale.

Back down in Wasdale Head with Great Gable to the left


By early evening (just as I had to leave!) the weather cleared to give some beautiful late sun over Wast Water
