Halls Fell Ridge, Blencathra - 15th April 2018

Halls Fell Ridge provides easy scrambling

I understand that staying as close to the ridge crest at all times best pleases the Mountain Gods

There are hardly any false summits. The top comes suddenly

Looking back

It felt a touch bleak at the top...

The remainder of the morning's outing was a steady walk down the main path to return to Threlkeld.  Whilst I'd love to have also taken in Sharp Edge I knew rain was due and I was tired from the previous day's efforts, so I came straight down.  Rain started pouring about 15 minutes before I reached the finish and I slipped in mud on the last few metres of steep ground. All of which dampened my spirits and left me a touch frustrated.  Whilst I know people have fallen off this ridge and died, I'd say from a technical point of view Hall's Fell ridge is at the low end of scrambling grade 1. Still a magnificent outing.
