Passing Grisedale Tarn with Seat Sandal of last week's walk behind


Following the cornice round to Dollywagon Pike


Looking south from Dollywagon to Windermere and 
Morecambe Bay

Continuing across the ridge to Nethermost Pike


Striding Edge from its entry on to Helvellyn summit


Catstye Cam, Red Tarn and Ullswater on the horizon


The shelter on Helvellyn summit plateau (3118ft)


A very experienced & well equipped climber descending onto SwirrelEdge!


Looking back from Whiteside summit shelter to Helvellyn....


....and ahead to Raise summit, where if there is sufficient snow,

skiers use the tow lift on the other side  



Looking back again from Raise summit 


The view north to Ullswater from Raise
