It was a completely different day to yesterday as it was overcast and the sky was grey and flat. Things were a lot warmer as it was very still and today I was joined by Andy Lang on this circuit of Hobcarton. The ice was treacherous once again in places, notably on the climb to Hopegill Head and then the rocky descent to join the Ladyside Pike ridge.

At the foot of the steep climb to Grisedale Pike from Comb Bridge. There is even a little bit of blue sky up there.

Still plenty of snow around and not a breath of wind today making it feel much warmer than yesterday.

Grisedale Pike and Hobcarton Head from the climb to Hopegill Head. It was crampons time once more for this section of the icy climb.
