Sharp Edge, Blencathra, taken in 2006

The rock is slate - dry when these photos were taken, but very slippery when wet!

I've uploaded a couple of photos of Hall's Fell Ridge. 🙂

Oooh. Hall's Fell Ridge is a route I seem to have missed. One for end of lockdown me thinks. Always nice to find new routes 🙂

Yeah only 9 have died on it since records began. I have a mountain rescue friend who has attended quite a few incidents on here and he told me people are often getting crag fast on it. I love it like !!

Site Admin: The interesting section is a bit short on Sharp Edge, for me Hall's Fell Ridge is more worthwhile, with plenty of scrambling to go at.

I found it very interesting when the rock was wet, 😮 as did this chap!

Following it with a descent of Hall's Fell Ridge makes a good circuit. 🙂

In my memory Sharp Edge is a bit dull, then when I do it I remember how good it is. Weird. I guess its a brief period of excitement in an otherwise gentle day.
