| September 23 Heatwave week- breaking all records. High 20s today. With L long easy fun scramble in boots up the ravine of Crinkle Gill - frequent dunking of my shirt & hat to keep cool. 27 yrs ago I last scrambled up it when frozen with ice axes! Steep ascent out of the beautiful craggy corrie up to the main Crinkles ridge at Mickledore. Over all the Crinkle tops (of which there are many) and down The Band - screaming jets. Popped in for iced water and biscuits at Viv's cottage at Chapel Stile. | Chris Pearson | 07/09/2023 |
