Hi everyone,
I know there is much discussion regarding Broad Stand. I personally, think that it is the quickest route between Scafell Pike and Scafell, if you are confident at scrambling/climbing and in good, dry conditions. If you haven't seen this video on youtube it shows a pair of walkers ascending BS without ropes.

If you skip to 5m44s in the video this is where they approach BS.
