I had made good time so far and the thought of going back to the car and leaving it there seemed a shame, so I turned back from High Wax Knott and ascended what can only be described as my worst ever ascent. I missed the easy path across from Haystacks and took a less popular route round under Seat towards Gamlin End and High Crag, this section is very steep and uneasy, no real path to speak of just very loose gravel making ascending very tricky.
