Spikes were a minimum in that weather and surprised at the amount of people not wearing them when I was out in the snow. Never been to Scafell Pike via the Corridor Route but always wanted to do it. I have one of those heated jackets which is great for regulating the temperature, as it has 3 heat setting plus an off setting too, really good in the cold weather. That was an ambitious plan you had for the day, yes, I would have been happy with just one as well. Great effort getting to the top in those conditions but cutting it fine with the daylight hours mind, especially with that outtake! Cheers Alan
Cheers alan.. Yea I dont know how ive got by on previous snow outings without them.. life changer.. I was thinking at the time i could have done with one of your jackets, I had 6 layers on so I was quite snug.. Definitely a route Ill be back to this summer.. would love to explore a bit round there.. so many little secluded places just above the path.. Thanks for commenting as always lad, tek care :)
Get a bloody bobble hat on, Dave! Bet your lugholes must of been ready for snapping off 🥶🥶 Well done and thank you for constantly entertaining us and giving us great route information 🤜🤛
i did have ma face mask hat but i could barely breathe in it.. to be fair it weren't that cold, i had 5 layers on.. had effect on go pro like, probably lost a 3rd of my footage from camera failing.. Cheers lad, tek care :)
I noticed the Cam went to bed before the turn off to the Nemisis the Mara 😮well done can imagine the bad step in them conditions Glad you got them Super Atmospheric Conditions to work with Brilliant Dave.
aye am not mentioning glaramara on any more of my videos.. its cut off! haha.. cheers for watching ol pal, tek care :)
@daveostlemountainman yep i do apologise a name we should never use on the fells but looked a splendid day out 😀
Not sure how you did that, Dave, and got up and down safely, but you did it in true mountain man fashion. Awesome effort, and you got your views. Regards, Ashley
Aye that wasn't easy but a great experience to build on.. now i know my pace in snow is 1mph so ill adjust future routes accordingly... thanks for watching lad, tek care :)
Great video again. The scenery looks gorgeous in the snow!
@@Mo_goes_miles oh I see you've changed ya channel name.. I didnt recognise the name.. good stuff
Is there anything better than walking the fells in the snow? Care needed mind. Interesting to see you using spikes, something I never did but now wish I had. What great weather you had - clear and crisp.
aye now ive walked in spikes i cant imagine ever not, such a massive change.. massive amount of sheet ice between seathwaite farm and stockly bridge, it would be difficult to get even to there without them.. the deep snow is very exhausting, like walking in quicksand.. cheers tek care :)
Nice one Dave, I know what you mean about the confusion. I thought I was at Lingmell Col about 3 times😂. Congrats on making it up in such energy sapping conditions. All the best out there brother ⛰️😁🥾
Cheers lad, aye i really enjoyed myself tho very energy sapping having to lift ya feet up twice as much each step.. one to revisit in the summer i think.. tek care :)
Congratulations. Not sure how you
Managed that step. Have you thought about poles? I love them. Amazing adventure and wonderful to have a summit view all to yourself. Bloody brilliant.
aye to be fair i could have done with poles on this occasion but i dont do walks like this often enough to feel its worth buying some.. im keen to revisit the bad step in better conditions to see what i cam down.. cheers, tek care :)
Brilliant Dave. No mean feat what you achieved today in those condtions.and what a day you had for it! Ive done the corridor route twice in better conditions and its without doubt my favourite route to Scafell Pike. A lot more interesting than the main highways up. All the best for the New Year
yea it feels like it would be a good route just to take ya time on.. lots of different areas above it to go explore in.. one for the summer i think, might be worth a camp along it somewhere.. cheers lad, tek care :)
Brilliant dave marra looked awesome up there in the snow. dont share the enthusiasm on the route like, hahahaha love it mate got to have the spikes in this condition always good to let people no about them marra good vlog and im not gelous at all 😂
couldnt believe my luck when i saw the forecast.. first day of my week off too.. normally that means its clag all week.. hopefully be back out a couple more times this week, looks like most of the snow is melting today tho, alot of rain about.. cheers lad, tek care :)
It’s not a Dave Ostle video until the tea starts getting thrown about 😆 Another belter that mate.
aye am pleased wid it.. would have liked to mek a longer video but the go pro was freezing up all day sadly.. Thanks for watching lad, tek care :)
Great video Dave. Love your theme tune 😆
Cheers lad, took me all of 5 minutes to knock up on that Ai music site 'Suno'.. good fun to mess about wid... tek care :)
Good stuff !
I wonder if those other 3 will ever be seen again 😮
i think they actually walked up and around the bad step, hell of a steep climb up and around.. looked like others had gone that way but i cant say if its viable or not
Wow, well done in that snow Dave, a big achievement, your not passed it yet then 😂
just about passed out from snow blindness aye, shudda had goggles.. am pleased i finished it, t'ol bad step wasnt an easy drop but we live!.. thank you, tek care :)
Great video and great views to. The clarity was excellent. I was impressed with your spikes. I wonder what make they were and where you got them from? Thanks.
oo i didnt do too much research into spikes.. i just went to the climbers shop in ambleside and pretty much picked up the cheapest they had... bout 40 quid i think.. apparantly many shops sold out of em at the moment.. unsurprisingly cheers, thanks for watching.. tek care :)
Great to see you back on the wainwrights… great route… thanks for the laughs
aye al have to go back and do it int summer, might have a bit more time to explore the birketts but this was a bucket list route for the winter.. cheers, tek care :)
Nice hike and video. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a fantastic weekend Dave, take care 😊
Cheers my friend, happy new year to you, all the best, tek care :)
Epic brother , glad youre back to bless our screens , take care see you on the fells good sir
Ooo very nice comment, my heed is growing bigger just reading it.. thank you, tek care my friend :)
Crackin' effort that Dave need to bag Ill Crag & Broad Crag ourselves so may use this route👍 had a snow outing last week ourselves up Dow Crag no vistas just a whiteout & had to guide a couple down who had run into a bit of trouble finding their way 🥾🥾💙💙🏔🏔
aye dow crag aint easy on a clear day, especially that little pull up the summit, cant imagine how it would look covered in snow.. its a classic route, im looking forward to doin it again in warm weather.. tek care lad, cheers :)
Ey up Marra, absolutely class mate, and a cracking route, what a day. Nice to see you with ya spikes on. 🥶⛰🥾👍
jesus what a difference... no wonder you ran down greenup gill last week, game changer.. cheers lad, tek care :)
@ 🤣🤣🤣
Nice one Dave, it’s a hard slog through fresh snow but worth it for those view, did SP last year, incessant rain for 8 hours and totally clagged in, never saw a thing and cost me a GoPro, got drowned in my pocket 😂 All the best mate,
Steven 😊🥾⛰️🏴🏴
@@outofayrshire143 i think this walk has cost me my go pro too.. doesn't seem to hold charge on my batteries now.. aye its a pretty miserable fell in the clag.. cheers lad, tek care :)
The first time I walked in spikes, I had a nasty fall. The chain caught on a hook on my other boot & caused me to fall hard flat on my face! I now have different boots without big hooks that can catch on things!
@@Mo_goes_miles oo yea painful, I never thought that might be possible, my feet were crossing and sliding all over the place in the deep snow so guess i was just lucky i didnt hook myn.. thank you for watching, tek care 🙂
Well done Dave 💪as you said you underestimated your walk, i think it is said that a mile on the fells is like 2 in winter! !!! I think you said you have been quiet by your standards and with the soft snow it was going to be tough 👏👍🇬🇧
ooh mate ive never walked in snow that deep before.. critically misjudged the timings but we learn.. i walk about 1.6mph in sun and now know i walk 1mph in snow haha.. thanks lad, tek care :)
It's hard work walking in the snow . Great views though .
yea i learned that the hard way.. av done it before just not THAT deep like.. stumbling all owert spot aye... cheers lad, tek care :)
@@daveostlemountainman I'm waiting till it's gone
Nice job. What map app is that your using mate? Cheers
Cheers lad.. os maps but you gotta pay 35 quid a year to be able to use the 3d fly through function.. tek care :)
And there was me out wi’ me ice axe & crampons today…
some other folk had crampons i noticed... did look like they weren't sinking as far into the snow like, might have med it a bit more comfortable.. i need to get an ice axe but when i seen the prices my heart skipped a beat.. cheers lad, tek care :)
