Striding Edge

Striding Edge
A scanned b/w film. 2002 I climbed Helvellyn by Striding Edge from Patterdale via Grisedale and the Hole in the wall path ( a stile rather than a hole ). I remember seeing and talking to a few people on the ascent and at the top. I returned via Nethermost, Dolly Waggon Pike and Grisedale tarn and down Grisedale and never saw another person from leaving the top until almost back to the village.

A most memorable day.

Thanks for sharing this with us Colin. A great adventure here captured in monochrome in the days of real film. I have rarely been as adventurous as this!

Take care. Herb (English Lake District administrator)

I had replied to your comment Herb so I am not sure what happened.

I mentioned that this day was very good weather with almost no breeze so that made it easier and I was able to walk the top of Striding Edge all the way along and it’s only at the end that all four points of contact are required to descend a chimney to continue. The next few hundred feet to the top are as near vertical as anything I have ever climbed over such a distance.
