What for? Bog snorkeling in Sprinkling tarn might be a goer.

 I was climbing there on Thurs, but its thawed a bit since, I was climbing in Borrowdale yesterday and it was 13 degrees in the valley, however I could see Great End and it has lots of snow left. Custs is full of snow and if you went up VERY early I imagine it could still be a good solo. As for the ice pitches in the harder routes it's hard to say, but I imagine there could be gaps now. One of the edges on Helvellyn might be a better bet....

Theres a big cornice on Central gully with splits in it, so bear that in mind, that's if it hasn't fallen down already....

Excellent conditions today, loads of ice and very secure placements.
