With Jim, Jus and Cat. Round of Black Crags, Buck Pike, Rossett Pike, Tongue Head, Esk Pike, Bowfell North Top and Bowfell from Old Dungeon Ghyll. Rossett Pike seemed a slightly dull peak that caught the wind more than any other summit today, so didn't stay here long. Thought the views were better from the neighbouring Buck Pike anyway.wheresthepath01/10/2023
