Respect to anyone who finished, I'd had enough by pillar but slogged on until I really couldn't go any further. I'll be back another year.
Not enough carbs on the way round Rob? Styhead to Broad Crag Col is rough in places but the gradient is steady at worst. I knew if I made it to Styhead I would finish, albeit slowly.
