One of AW Wainwright's favourite montain walks - no summits but what views!
The Gable Girdle. Monday June 6th 2005
On the path up to Sty Head with Blencathra on the far skyline |
Further on with Brandreth behind |
Looking North over Sty Head Tarn |
Turning the corner - Red Pike in the distance and Kirkfell |
Kern Knotts Crack - a classic "very severe" rock climb (I've done some of it! [Barry])
|
Posing below Kern Knotts
|
The view down Wasdale with the great bulk of Yewbarrow on the right
|
Looking back towards Sty Head with Skew Gill right of centre
|
On the traverse path below Great Gable with Great End and Broad Crag forming the skyline |
A classic view of Wasdale |
The Napes with Napes Needle just discernable
|
The Cat or Sphinx Rock, depending on where you view it from! This in the feline version.
|
Looking back to the Great Napes
|
The crossing of Beck Head - High Crag and High Style Ridge on the right
|
The traverse path under Gable Crags with Ennerdale opening up below - much better for the lack of conifer plantation!
Looking SE with the Langdale Pikes (left), Allen Crags (centre), Bowfell and Great End
The descent of Aaron slack, easier than expected
|
A bespectacled local inhabitant keeps a watch!
