I went around the Rock Step, and kept to the right of the wall, so I was on the interesting scrambly side. Overcast, with the cloud base at about 500 feet; constant drizzle/light rain, windy on the tops but not cold, terrain saturated and very slippery. I had full waterproofs on throughout, but only used the hood for the first few minutes. I only saw eight others on the fells, one a fellow runner - he was in shorts, though he did have a waterproof top on.
