Off to Climb Skafell Pike with my son this weekend. Fancied finding an interesting route up. Have chosen to head up via Skew Ghyll and Custs gully over Great end. Our old friend Mr Wainwright, considered the latter not suitable for walking. So I have invested a few bob in 30m of rope. Which my son can carry. So win win. We should'be safe on the tricky bits. Plus his power to weight is reduced. Yes I'm a bad mad competitive dad. LoL.
Any one taken this route up? Long time since I used a rope too.
