    Tips

    October 10, 2020

    Legendary fellwalker Alfred Wainwright was so enamoured with Halls Fells Ridge that he said it was 'positively the finest way to any mountain-top' in the Lake District. Arcing upwards directly to the summit, it's a glorious way to ascend Blencathra and just nudges into easy scrambling territory. An ideal first foray onto such terrain as there's always the bypass path if things get a little too much.

      Best way up Blencathra. Airey ridge that tops out at the summit. Can be slippy esp in descent.

        I think this is a better scramble than Sharp Edge! Lots of interesting scramble sections but there is a path running at a lower level for parts of it so you can dip out if you need. Makes for a fun descent of Blencathra 😊
