Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Broad Crag

Kevin Foster walked up Broad Crag on May 19th, 2022 [from/via/route] National Trust car park, Brackenclose, Wasdale Head. [with] By myself. [weather] Early cloud on Scafells lifting by midday then sunny. - Turn right off the main highway at the foot of the next col walk a few yards to find a steep grassy line taking you up towards the summit. You still have to clamber over some tricky boulders but it is easier than taking the direct route up. The top of Broad Crag is only a matter of yards from the main highway but it is very rough terrain indeed. Few will bother to make the effort but us peak baggers have to!

Caroline Winter climbed Broad Crag on August 11th, 2018 [from/via/route] Seathwaite, Grains Gill, Broad Crag, Sca Fell Pike, Ill Crag, Great End Wasdale, Scafell via Lords Rake, Scafell Pike, Broad Crag on 31/7/2020 [with] Becky, Royce and Courtney [weather] warm, clear skies, light breeze - obviously a tiring walk. Sca Fell Pike heaving with people taking selfies. Some bottled it at Broad Crag, not wanting to do the steep descent & climb up to the top- shame. Thought Ill Crag was opposite Broad Crag but worked it out on ScaFell Pike & made for it on return. Returned to complete top, as figured on last visit I had not reached highest point
