Scafell Pike from Seathwaite Farm (Corridor Route) - 31st August 2020

Seathwaite Farm to Scafell Pike via Corridor route
This video was originally intended for our children but thought others might like to get a feel for the trek and climb to the summit, so we uploaded.
Hope you enjoy watching as much as we did climbing.
Thanks
If you enjoyed the video and have 3 mins spare. Please watch a short scene of my daughter in her first film. Every like and view means a lot.
Thank you.

Walked today, definitely harder than I thought , very ateep. I took probably 20 breaks 😀, was well worth it. Well done to all who made it. Great video

Lovely video I've walked it several times from 1988 on my honeymoon, we honeymooned in Rosthwaite and with our two lads who loved it. My eldest lad, now 30, is still walking up there. Timeless. Thankyou!

I’d never drink while hiking at that level - asking for trouble. Even one drink will slow your reflexes if you slip.

The Corridor route takes you up to Lingmell Col then meets the tourist route up to the summit you were slightly off piste but I have been up that way myself.

[@thomasd-mx4pt]

I agree with you! We always continued upto Lingmell col and then turned left up to the summit!👍 That looked a much more strenuous route and more hazardous, I wouldn’t recommend it!

[@kmtb2011]

iv you love scrambling then id suggest going up snowdon via crib goch, Tryfan via north ridge, the Glyders via devils kitchen or Striding/Swiral Edge in Helvyln. am looking to go back to Scafell pike ideally want to do the corridor path when its snowing

Good video, thanks.

Thank you Bodger

[@jameskingphotography]

Great video. Definitely will help me prepare for it when I finally attempt it. Thanks Some of those drops 🤢

[@SummitSearcher]

Thanks James. Tread careful and you’ll be fine. Perhaps looks a little more scary on camera than in real life! Very enjoyable and hope you feel the same. Enjoy

[@adventure.cam.]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Hoping to do this next year having just done Snowdon. Is the scramble as challenging as it looks for first-timers?

[@SummitSearcher]

Hi and thank you. Regarding your question, no, there are far easier routes up. The classic route is nicely stepped and offers a far easier climb. Have fun

[@emma_m0]

I’m planning on hiking this route next month. Do I really need a map and compass? how easy is it to find the trail? Thanks

[@byeck63]

It’s always a good idea to take an OS map and compass. It could save your life.

[@emma_m0]

@@byeck63 Oww I know that. I’m just wondering how much it will be needed to navigate on the day or will we be able to figure out the route with out it in good conditions. How did you find the climb?

[@byeck63]

In the next month I think you will be able to follow the line of other people doing the same route! It’s a very established route. Have fun. Will be doing it myself next week.

[@SummitSearcher]

I would say a map is a good idea, easy enough to navigate without compass from recognisable points/peaks. There’s lots of other people on the same route so you’ll find your way easy should you not take one though. Have fun

[@al3xdragos01]

How long did it took to go up?

[@SummitSearcher]

Just under 8 hours. Although the Wasdale route is much quicker I believe.

[@Kjca_1998]

Doing this climb in about 24 hours 🤞

[@SummitSearcher]

How did it go?

[@Kjca_1998]

@@SummitSearcher Really good! Tiring but worth it, that first vertical climb up to the waterfall is really rough 🤣

[@GreenStreetPlayer1]

I thought the climb would be a well defined path throughout. Obviously not!

[@SummitSearcher]

Me too. However, there are ways that are easier. Enjoy
