Angle Tarn Gully and Bow Fell

Bow Fell 902m

It was very misty as we set off up Mickleden heading to Angle Tarn. there was a lot od ice about and the snow was softer than we thought it would be so it was pretty hard going. We wandered across the Rossett Gill towards the top it was more interesting than the path but no climbing. From the top of Rossett Gill we dropped down to Angle tarn and walked round the back – deep snow – hard going. We found a bit of Ice and had a play and then went up Angle Tarn Gully grade 1. Part way up we found some interesting ice and put a top rope up – that was good. We then climbed up to the top. For the decent we decided to head to Ore Gap and Bow Fell and then down the band. slight wandering about in the mist to locate the top of Bow Fell and then a straight forward walk down the Band.

good day – totally in the mist! 7 hours
