Various Walks, Winter 2005/2006

Helm Crag and Dead Pike, 27th December

Didn't quite make the summit!

 

Silver How to Pavey Ark, 1st January

 

St. Sunday Crag and Fairfield, 14th January

Oops, finished in the dark...

 

Wild camp on Fleetwith Pike, 18th-19th February

Putting the tent up...

Fantastic sunset over Pillar...

Sunrise after a frosty night...

 

Wild camp at Red Tarn, 4th-5th March

Red Tarn was frozen, and full winter conditions on Helvellyn. Loads of people out...

Swirral Edge

Climbers on the corrie headwall. This was 5:30pm, a few had to give up and down-climb in the dark.

This threatening sky didn't deliver much snow, but it did supply strong gusts of wind all night long

The sunrise was a welcome sight!

 

Sergeant Man, 8th-9th April (Spring??)

Stormy weather all weekend, but we were lucky with our timing when we reached the top

No, I've not got THAT fat - I had an extra jacket on under my coat to keep warm, honest...

Not much of a view in the morning
