| Lolli and I went up to the West Summit on a day of low cloud and some wind, using the Watkin Path for approach and return. A very slow day as I had a left knee problem and Lolli hadn't walked much for 3 months. For the ascent from the Watkin Path, after we got a few metres away from the steep cliff edge, I set a mental straight line to the top and we just scrambled it: the Benn route! For the descent Lolli led down the steep scree slope to a slightly lower part of the Watkin Path: the Lolli route! |
