Here we have Pike of Stickle gully, a chap fell 200 metres 1 hour after
i took this shot, he survived with broken ribs, as he fell on snow. Then
we have my three buddies (Barton, Sam and Patch) standing next to
Dungeon Gill Force, then finally 'mad' patch standing on a frozen
Stickle Tarn.

Here we have what is called 'Easy Gully' a 300 foot climb up a 50 degree gully bocked by chock stones at the top. It tooks an hour to climb the 300 feet, chopping steps in the Ice, when we reached the chock stones the chimney was covered in ice and we had to turn back. It is only Easy compared to Jakes Rake!
Here we have Peaveys Ark, Stickle Tarn (Frozen) and Jakes Rake. Peaveys Ark is the Mountain & cliff face, the ice on Stickle Tarn was 2 inches thick and Jakes Rake was freekin scary.Jakes Rake is a pathway up Peavey Ark and can be clearly seen as the diagonal white line across the cliff face on Peaveys Ark, some places the exposure is 500ft.
Beautiful morning sun at 8am as we set off for our 7 hours slog.
First time out this year and it is cold and greasy
