Great Gable, Wasdale trip

Jim and I headed up to the lakes and around to Wasdale Head.

We walked up the path from the car park and headed across tp Napes Needle.

Most of the other parties then disappeared off to other places, but Jim and I continued up needle ridge, and so to the summit of great gable.

I dont remember what else we did this trip, nor is the date accurate.
