> I've not seen a mountain for a year and I'd like to daydream a bit about adventures
I'm hoping I'll be able to finally attempt the Cuillin ridge traverse with some friends in late spring. We'll see, of course. As part of this bigger daydream, I've been dreaming up some "training" rounds in the Cumbrian fells (which are only an hour away).
A Wasdale round involves walking up to Scafell Crag for Sligsby's Chimney (VDiff/Mod), descending from High Man to Pisgah and then Mickledore (possibly via Broad Stand, probably by a short ab). Then a climb on the SW-facing Pikes Crag at Diff/VDiff. Followed by a walk over Scafell Pike, down the Corridor Route to Styhead, along the Climbers Traverse and up Needle Ridge on the Napes and Pinnacle Ridge on Westmorland Crag to the top of Gable. From there, if time and energy permit, perhaps a quick continuation over Kirkfell and down that rotten gully then descend to the valley via the Black Sail Pass.
A Coniston Round involves The Bell (grade I), a quick up and down of the Pudding Stone, Original Route (VD/S) on Great How, Sunshine Arete (D) on Little How) over to The Old Man, down to Goat's Water, up C Ordinary, down Easy Terrace and up Giant's Crawl, before following the ridge along to a scree shoot, down into the bog and back to the car park - roughly 15km and quite a bit of up and down.
I've also got a version of the Pico Harrison on the list.
All good daydreams! I wonder if they'll happen!
