Wonderful pictures Paulo and you make Sharp edge look really thrilling and challenging to say the least. :o I had to turn back recently in September due to the wind and drizzle, I felt a little chicken at the time as there was a couple of braver men than me going over.

I am glad I did now tho, dont want to be up there in the wind and rain :?

Its definitely now back on my list for the spring ..thanks for sharing

It can be a hard but wise decision L-Hiking. I have very nearly turned back once on one walk and seem to know my limitation (I think).
I guess if I felt really unsure or in danger then it is an easy decision to make.
