Walking/Hiking Answers: Climbing Scafell Pike In March

Got an answer to the following question?

Climbing Scafell Pike In March

I am hoping to climb Scafell Pike at the end of March with two friends.

I am interested in what sort of weather we can be expecting on the peak (I know to expect anything, but trying to see if we need more prep than what i was expecting).

We all have experience of hill walking, in non-alpine conditions and some have had a few days guided while at school in winter conditions in The Cairngorms.

Firstly, is the end of March a good time to climb Scafell Pike, taking into account the experience of the group?

Do we need to dig out the crampons and axes?

Thanks
