Attempt at Scafell Pike

Saturday 5 September 2009

Attempt at Scafell Pike from Wasdale Head, visibility got rubbish, so we decided to abandon.

The Route

Well, we got to the mountain rescue stretcher box, and decided that due to the crap visibility and pouring rain we'd abandon the attempt and head back down the valley. I've never seen visibility change so quickly. At one point there was a view of a tarn, by the time i'd got my camera out, and framed the shot (5 seconds) you couldn't see it due to cloud.
