I came down that Hollow Stones route age 69. Horrible when wet. Ascended via the Lingmell Beck up to Styhead Tarn then the Corridor route. Took me 8 hours with lunch break on summit! Definitely brutal.
Just great, be up there next week again, corridor route is my favourite , lunch at Sty head then to Seawaite farm, car park
Enjoy! Gotta do more than a quick trip up there this year. Really enjoy the place.
Well done. I went via Mickledore, which was a tough scramble for my little legs. 😁
@@theadventurepixie tough but fun I'll bet? Will have to give that a go.
@terran3an1981 I am glad I did it. You just have to be careful of loose scree on the steep part leading up to the boulder section, then some big arm and leg clamber up the gully . You would probably make it look easy. I would not recommend beginners. (That is the right fork off of the main path).
Informative and entertaining. Thank you and well done!
Thank you
Great job, and informative video. I’m going up tomorrow as a first timer, wasdale head route. I’ll be happy if I summit, getting up and down within 5 hours. A slow plod for me ☺️
Thank you. The Wasdale Head route is non stop to the top pretty much. But a slow plod will do you fine👍 good luck and enjoy!
The right hand path is much more difficult & exhilarating, it's an intital path into a scramble up loose scree, into proper rock climbing. Then it levels off at an edge, which you take a left at, and it leads to the summit. Thoroughly enjoyable.
That sounds like the logical next step. I'd definitely like to try harder routes, even learn to climb!
@terran3an1981 Have a go if you can, it was great when I went up a week back! :)
@@ominous7271 I will certainly add it to my list for when I'm up that way next. Think I saw someone give it a go in winter. Looks like a nice challenge too.
Love Scaffel. Such a beautiful mountain. Be careful of that last section on the way back down. Just before the carpark the paths seem to spread in every direction and found myself on the wrong path, wasn't a huge issue, but can certainly add an unexpected 30/45min if you get too diverted.
Wish I could have seen more of it! Does seem like Scafell has more risk with path options and getting lost. Though Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa has a habit of the path just disappearing. On the PYG route anyway.
Corridor way best 😍
I've certainly had my share of the Wasdale route. Served its purpose but will be looking at other routes for next time. Corridor definitely on the list.
Is there a rumour about a mass of ore near the summit that creates a deflection on a compass?
Only "possibly" experienced it once in 1991 threw me off a decent by a few degrees in poor light and and heavy mist.
That's a new one on me. Interesting though if true! I have not had issues when I've been up there but, I'll be honest, I'm usually using GPS.
