SCAFELL PIKE Solo Summit Camp - surviving a freezing night alone on England’s highest mountain
Solo winter summit camp in my Hilleberg Allak 2 on England’s highest mountain; Scafell Pike.
Had an amazing night on my favourite mountain at the weekend. Dragged my 18kg rucksack with full winter gear to 3140ft just below the summit of Scafell Pike. An amazing night of solitude on England’s highest mountain. Stunningly beautiful but brutal winter mountain conditions in the morning.

Bloody hell Dave, that was an absolute masterpiece! The conditions in the morning were everything we hope for on these outings. I loved the shots on the summit in the morning! We are so fortunate to be around in this era where the technology is light and compact enough for us to capture moments like these. Cracking job 👏👏👏 ATB, James.

Jesus mate, that is some serious graft, not only hiking up to the top of Englands highest mountain with all that camping gear on your back, but with the icy conditions as well, well done man. Well deserved beer after that trip for sure. Amazing video as always. so inspiring to make me get out and camp. This’ll be one camp you’ll never forget, there’s not many people can say they’ve had Scafell Pike all to themselves. Thanks for sharing mate. Look forward to the next one.

Well done on completing quite a few of your personal challenges which you have set yourself in some really testing conditions in the bombproof Allak2. I can see why the Scafells are your favourite summits and when you factor in the peace and solitude you can really appreciate that deep spiritual connection with the mountain and the environment which you are experiencing first hand.

Loved this camp Dave, didn't want it to end...and I don't think you did either😄. Was waiting all weekend for this video to drop and it didn't disappoint. Fantastic scenery but tough conditions up there, which you coped with showing your expertise and good humour. Snowy mountain tops look magical but you really nailed it home how tough it can be for the inexperienced or unprepared. Was working all weekend so was glad to, just for an hour, feel like i'd been in The Lakes..the best place ever. Great stuff mate👍
