Pike O'Blisco and Cold Pike from the Wrynose Pass

Another walk on another crisp winters day from the three shire stone at the top of the Wrynose Pass. It’s a steady and pleasant walk from the pass up to Red Tarn on a partly stone laid path. My biggest worry was avoiding a slip on the verglas covering some of the stones. Just past Red Tarn the hard work starts with a steep but short climb up to the rocky summit of Pike of Blisco with great views down to Langdale and superb views over to Crinkle Crabs and Bowfell. I return the way I came to Red Tarn and then follow the Crinkle Crags path, branching off to reach Cold Pike which has possibly better views of the mountains at the head of Langdale. Grassy slopes then led me back to the Wrynose pass. If you want to read my blog of this walk click https://jimearl6.com/pike-oblisco-and-cold-pike-from-wrynose-pass/
