Helm Crag, Gibson Knott & Steel Fell

Yesterday we headed over to Grasmere to climb three fells (two of which were new to us). This is Helm Crag which we climbed in October on a very wet day with some Unipart colleagues High Raise & Sourmilk Gill Looking down on Grasmere

Not long & we are at the summit

This is the only fell that Wainwright didn't get to the true summit. We had a go but in the end gave up

Our next summit is the one to the left & then we will follow the ridge on the horizon to get get to our third fell on the right

The last patches of snow on the Helvellyn range

Strange wall patterns on Steel Fell

Looking back at Helm Crag

A relatively flat section before the final climb to the summit

Looking back down the valley towards Grasmere

This tarn still has ice on it

Gibson Knott (420m)

Looking across to our final fell, Steel Fell

An unnamed tarn on the ridge

Helm Crag in the distance & the undulating ridge of Gibson Knott

Steel Fell summit cairn comes into view

At the summit looking down on Thirlmere with Skiddaw & Blencathra in the distance

Looking towards Helm Crag

Steel Fell (553m)

In the distance is Windermere

The summit is quite flat as we descend until we come across this sheer drop

Looking across to Seat Sandal

The steep path zig zags its way down

We are down to the next section

Looking back up, the summit is now not in view

The final descent to the valley floor

Zooming in on "The Lion & Lamb" erm not sure, the Lion maybe

A really good days walk & great to be back on the fells again
