Scales Tarn is at the base of Sharp Edge and is a great place to stop and make the desicion of whether to go the scramble route or the steep climb to the left, you always see many people sat having lunch here.

Planned to camp but - 5 degrees and ground frozen... Bent my pegs lol... Beautiful as didn't see anyone for the time I was there.. Tranquil 😁

Beautiful spot - if you want to get great pics - early mornings are not ideal due to how the sun comes into the valley

Not a mountain to miss. Heading into the lakes you see Blencathra on your way to Keswick. Depending on the route up it you choose it can be a steep climb but worth every minute of it

Sharp edge is a superb scramble. 👌 I can fully recommend it. If your a bit uneasy just take your time it's well worth it
