I can never resist a pic of Buttermere & Crummock Water

The mighty Great Gable in view as we make our way towards Gillercomb Head

In a sheepfold at Green Gable summit, first quick break. Layered up but no woolly hat required today!

360° view from Green Gable

As we start the ascent to Great Gable, a glance down towards Styhead Tarn and a barely visible Sprinkling Tarn beyond.
Great visibility today - in the distance a clear view of the Langdale Pikes

At the summit of Great Gable I meet one person (the first today). He had climbed from Wasdale. We had the entire area to ourselves

We have good views from Great Gable today. This is Wastwater

Scafell Pike close up

Looking towards Hay Stacks (front centre) which looks flattish from this angle. We can clearly see drop at Scarth Gap and the High Stile ridge

Of note:
This descent from Windy Gap is nothing but loose rocks. When I descended it with Indy, I slipped over twice. Today just once. I found the alternative route off Great Gable to the W to be worse. Another time I would seriously consider a retrace up Green Gable to join Moses Trod further North

Hay Stacks and the High Stile ridge in full view, the visible tarn is Blackbeck Tarn.
Ennerdale Water is on the left, Buttermere & Crummock to the right

Wandering off to the N for this ideal picture spot

From here we are directly across from Fleetwith Pike, but we have to divert via Dubs to get there

Near Blackbeck Tarn, where Rex has to negotiate a group of people who have spread out all over the place to have their picnic. Loads of rustling noises!
