A very long day, with the weather starting out crap and ending epically!! From Scales, walked upto Scales Tarn and onto Sharp Edge. Never fails to amaze me! After summiting onto Mungrisdale Common and down via Cloven stone to Skiddaw YHA. A quick break then up the Cumbria wAy for a bit toward Whitewater Dash but turning off toward Great Calva at Candleseaves Bog. After a hard slow slog up to the summit and lunch, followed the fence line to Little Calva and down to Whitewater Dash. A very hard and steep slog upto Bakestall and onto Skiddaw summit for a breather. Very fine views to The Edge on Ullock Pike and all the way across the Lakes. From Skiddaw to Skiddaw Little Man and down from the summit of Lonscale Fell. Road walk back to Scales.

Sharp edge & hall fell ridge in winter conditions

From scales on the A66 walked up past lots of avalanche debris in mousthwaite comb then NW to scales tarn. Snow gulley up from the tarn looked ok so decided to do that instead of planned sharp edge. Rotten spring snow didn't improve as we got higher and although mostly solid pleased to top out. Blencathra summit then lunch, followed ridge SW to blease fell with great views across to Skiddaw and rest of lakes- winds not as bad as forecast. Dropped down into Threlkeld. 10km. 5hrs.

me and mum Started up blencathra via scales tarn, got to about 400m and decided to turn back as it was white out already and snowing heavily. didnt fancy 3 more hours in the cloud.

Diary 24/02/2013 After a really amazing trip earlier in the month i decided to bring the family over for a long weekend to show them what i had fallen in love with. This was also my first time to lead a climb with a novice in my friend James Marshall. Having done Blencathra earlier in the month i felt confident with the route and that it offered an all round experience for James while keeping a carefull eye on him. Weather was as close to perfect with a light snow covering on the peak. I was hoping the wind was light on the peak so we could have another attempt at Sharps Edge........... will we do it? Also a little added scout of Catbells at the end with the intent of taking th rest of the family up there the next day.

Diary 03/02/13 Belncathra is the first impressive fell you see coming into the lakes on the A66. As you approach you can see Sharps edge on the East side from the A66. The best place to park is in Threlkeld, we started from the Blencathra Centre. From the Blencathra Centre it is a short half hour walk past Gatesgill to the foot of Halls Fell. Blencathra offers everything from steep incline walking, to grade 1-2 scrambling. With its impressive views across the Northern Fells Blencathra offers a great all round experience of climbing and have to say is my favorite climb so far.
