Description Myself on Striding Edge, climbing to Helvellyn.

Fantastic scramble, especially the steep bit up to the summit (top right)

Lake District, England.

I've been at both ends of striding edge, but never on it. This picture makes it look less perilous that from a distance. Maybe I'll do it next year. Nice shot.

The start (from the bottom) is a breeze.. deinately looks tame too, once you get to 'the chimney', and the steeper part in the distance of this shot, its a bit steeper! Need both hands for sure.

2 Tipss, try to avoid going on a weekend, and you're much better off going up than down!

Yeah we tryed it last year and had to run down when the clouds hit!

Try and avoid weekends if possible, the queues on the ridge ruin it
