The walk up Pillar via the climber’s traverse is more suited to drier conditions than we’ve been experiencing so sorry but a change of plan.

Description:

Ascent of Helvellyn then walk along the ridge via Lower Man and Raise to Sticks pass then descend to Stanah and return to Wythburn.
Possible poor weather escape from Helvellyn to Swirls or extension from Sticks pass to Stybarrow Dodd/ Watson’s Dodd and return.

Distance: 9 ½ miles
Total ascent: 3700 feet
High point: Helvellyn top 3117ft
Approx walk time: 6 - 7 hours
