What a walk !
From Patterdale, along a beautiful beck to Grisedale. Up to the Hole in the Wall before tackling Striding Edge; the final scramble was longer than I had expected. Unwinding at the top, before heading back off down Swirral Edge, and taking in Catstycam, for old time's sake.
A perfect day.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.
