Trail Description

One of the classic mountain days in England, climbing Helvellyn from Glenridding along the knife edge of Striding Edge. The ridge is an exposed rocky scramble with big drops on either side before the final pull to the summit. Thrilling in good conditions and dangerous in ice or wind.
