Striding Edge is a grade one scrabble up Helvellyn. Will you Die!!??
Lots of people wonder if it's dangerous? Is it scary? Is it difficult?
Well the answer is very personal. Yes there is some exposure, but its relatively tame in my opinion. In the right conditions of course!
Yes, there is some reasonable scrambling, but for those with any scrambling experience, it's still relatively easy. But again, this is my opinion!
Watch the video and see the footage of the actual ridgeline, see the drops and exposure and make your own mind up!
This is a route from Patterdale, up Striding Edge, to Helvellyn and back down Sticks Gill to Glenridding! Amazing views of St Sunday Crag on the way up as well!
The full route I take is on the end of the video as ever! Enjoy!
