    Tips

    Hiking

    This is the most wonderful grade 1 scramble on a gorgeous sunny day but in wet weather, high winds or in snow it needs to be treated with respect. With the latter the appropriate equipment and skill set is a must. Otherwise it is simply one of the Lake District classics.

    Hiking

    The Bad Step on Sharp Edge is the crux to this grade one scramble ridge. This is a short section with intimidating drops and poor had holds.
    Take care.
