Route: From Chapel Cottage, Grasmere, up the Easedale Road to the old Helm Crag path steeply up the edge of the ridge (much less good than the standard new path). Then on the Gibson Knott and down the old shepherds path (100m after a stone throne).
Conditions: Cold, snow under foot and low cloud.
Pub: Travellers Rest for Jennings Sneck Lifter.
