First attempt I turned back not trusting my ability in the snow to reach the top with no winter equipment. After a spot of lunch and talking to some local experienced walkers, I gave it another shot. All I could think of was 'How am I going to get back down safely?' and this gave me a fear of heights but each time I thought about turning back, someone descending encouraged me upwards until I reached the summit. Bagged North, Middle and South summits but won't log them separately (they're not significantly different to warrant separate entries). Coming down was easier than going up. I no longer worried about how to get down because I was going down... and thus I no longer had a fear of heights. Strange thing the mind.

I get terrible vertigo on the escalators in shopping centres and the like, but in the hills and mountains it disappears. Other things to worry about, clearly. Peakery says it is 28 since your last climb. Get back up there, man.

I aggravated a knee injury going up Skiddaw... but I am on my way out now... a peat bog of a summit. An elusive nuttall and I will go by a hewitt I did last year. I was supposed to be going rock climbing today but it was cancelled after the other guy bailed last night... someone said rock climbing is a good way of getting over any height issues when it comes to ridges etc.
