Myself, Ian, Jimmy and Willy, had a brilliant day at Brown Cove Crags. Very busy, with queues on some popular routes, but all very sociable. |

Climbers waiting to get into Central Gully on Brown Cove Crags. |
 |
Broad Gully, with the alternative start that myself and Willy took (over into Central Gully) where the two lower climbers are stood. This was a little harder than Grade 2 I think!!! |
 |
Two climbers near the top of Broad Gully. |
 |
Plenty of ice if you wanted it. |

Willy belaying the final, straightforward slopes of Central Gully. |

Probably about midway up Central Gully. On our way down back to the car by Thirlemere, we encountered the usual suspects in trainers and those hopeless little spikey things you can strap on to them (which seem to fall off). The Helvellyn path is fairly treacherous in places without decent/stiff boots and ideally crampons, especially in descent. |
