I accompanied Colin and Bev up to Langdale on a quickly arranged get fit week end. Arriving Saturday afternoon we made a quick ascent of Loughrig Fell in rain showers.
On Sunday we headed up the Band and across the climbers traverse towards Bowfell Buttress which was shrouded in mist and where a party of 4 brave souls were preparing to tackle the climb. In the mist we missed the gully by the Great Slab which we intended to take and scrambled up the gully next to the Buttress which brought us out almost on the summit. The summit still held an accumulation of snow which had fallen the previous day. From Bowfell we headed over to Esk Pike and back to Ore Gap to descend to Angle Tarn and then took in Rosset Pike before dropping down Rosset gill to the valley floor.
