The only bad part of the day was finding out that someone had broken into the boot of my car & stolen our trainers (not new or expensive) & our flask of coffee! I had to drive back to Leeds in my socks! I climbed this peak again in June 03 & 25.9.10.Climbed for a fourth time on 19.2.23 in deteriorating conditions. Was intending to do walk c235 but went down to Grisedale Tarn & walked back on the Coast to Coast; longer but much safer.
