Walk first completed August
1987
with Richard. It was a warm, bright but cloudy day as we set off from Wasdale Head. We joined the path that climbs up Lingmell Gill and over
Brown Tongue. It was hard work. Just
before reaching Mickledore we cut across the top of the screes to reach
the foot of Lord's Rake. I seem to remember Lord's Rake being very busy and the rocks slippery under foot.
We followed the West Wall Traverse into Deep Gill. There were one or two
slightly hairy moments but the views were spectacular and well worth the effort. The summit was spoiled a little by mist but the climb was memorable. We took an easy route down over the grassy
slopes towards Green How, before reaching Lingmell Gill again and then on to
Wasdale Head.
