Another solo Wild camp trip. This time to Ennerdale. Similar to my Ill Crag route I was excited to go where I'd not been for years.
#Ennerdale is a beautiful place. The path either side of Ennerdale Water leading you gradually further into a remote part of the #lakedistrict
Pillar towers over the western side of that area with the intimidating Pillar Rock sticking out above the valley floor. I climbed this Via the supposedly grade 3 scramble named Slab and Notch route.
After deliberations about staying the night or climbing down before the rock got wet, I was offered a nice easy retreat by abseil by some friendly climbers.
Following all that excitement I then went up and enjoyed an evening above whispy clouds taking in steak, and spag bol.
The morning brought a slight inversion on the available clouds making for a wonderful mountain scene............ aren't they all ?
Thanks for watching. enjoy the hills. stay safe, stay in awe.
John.
ps. Disclaimer.....
Scrambling can be dangerous. Don't climb without a helmet. Don't climb above your ability.
This film, and all my others are a documentary of my trip. they are NOT a how too or instructional.
