Good temperature for mountain rhyolite

Wasdale Screes form a sprawling, chaotic mountain flank rising straight out of Wastwater, composed of mixed volcanic rock interspersed with extensive loose scree fans. Facing northwest, the cliff receives afternoon sun, but its proximity to the water and vast shadow keep many gullies cold and wet. Climbing here consists of long, highly adventurous, and occasionally precarious traditional mountain routes across towering buttresses. Routes like Great Gully offer historic exploration on impressive scale, though route-finding is notoriously complex. The approach involves a tedious forty-five minute scramble across sliding lakeside boulder fields from the foot of Wastwater. Severe loose rock hazard and extremely poor line-of-sight navigation make this venue suitable only for experienced, self-sufficient teams.
