A happy Fraz looking back towards the large drifts of snow which we linked together to give us brilliant non stop 2000ft decent. Only another 500ft of snow/ grass skiing to go.
| Looking back south towards the summit of Skiddaw. Our tracks are just vizable coming down the large drift.
|
What a day!, About to set off on over a 2,500ft decent of wind blown powder. Looking south with the Helvelyn and Rasie in the distance.
| Trying my best not to have to walk up, but there was just not enough wind to pull me. Looking s.w. towards Broad End and Skiddaw.
