Esk Pike, Rosset Pike, Seathwaite Fell 30th April 2019

Tuesday morning after a (usual) sleepless night, we set off at 7.00 AM up the Grains Gill valley. It took us around two hours to make the 3 mile climb up to Esk Hause. Using Esk Hause as a 'base camp'  we walked to Esk Pike (back to Esk Hause), Rosset Pike (back to Esk Hause) and then Seathwaite Fell, before returning via the same route.

As there were no footpaths on Sethwaite Fell I located the summit (south summit) using my Garmin. After reaching the summit I thought it would be a straightforward route back to Sprinkling tarn and the path, but I got disoriented and eventually ended up further down the Styhead Tarn path.
