Next week I will have a couple of days off and would like to climb some easy routes (I/II). Ideally I would like to climb gullies or butresses rather than ridges. I am keeping an eye at the weather forecast and fell top reports on Helvellin in the hope that Brown Cove can offer something but, if not, I am prepared to drive further north next Sunday, leaving from Cambridge, so to be climbing Monday and Tuesday.
My question is, where is the nearest place to me where I am likely to find some winter routes in conditions?
