- Опубликовано: 12 май 2024
- Right people I took a trip over Sharp Edge on my way up to Blencathra at the weekend, I thought it would be worth making a video only dedicated to Sharp Edge for anyone looking at scrambling up it at some point, and to also see how dangerous it is. I will also have a longer video of the whole route next week, cracking day out and the weather was fantastic, defiantly worth tackling if your considering it, just make sure you stay safe
Here is my older Sharp Edge video I filmed a few years ago in different weather conditions:

Excellent footage
Thanks mate 👌
Great video mate. Was up there on Saturday, bloody boiling it was! First time actually doing it, every other time I've been to Blencathra it's been gopping wet, blowing a gale or I've had the dog with me! It wasn't as scary as I imagined it to be from the bottom, still wouldnt fancy it in the wet though!
Yeah same mate I was on there about 9.30am, when I started to ascend up Souther Fell I from my car I couldn't stop sweating it was that hot, got majorly sunburnt as well, I've been up there in bad conditions myself and I can be a bit sketchy when slippy but in the dry I feel safe, I think a lot of it comes down to what's in peoples minds, I don't find most of the lakes as bad as some people have made out
Would you consider completing the 116 Wainwright outlying fells now you've finished the main 214?
Ill put a poll up mate and see if people would like to see some videos, I always said I didnt fancy them but I might just do them for some content and something different to do, theyre not massive long walks so would be fairly easy to do 💪
What’s your go-to footwear for this kind of ascent, Matt?
@@EddieSkelson tbh mate I don't think there is anything better than a pair of boots, I feel more secure and less likely to slip than in a shoe type or trainers
@@MattDoesMountains sell me a brand. I’m looking for something sturdy for the Summer.
I wear Salewa which I really like but they are expensive, my brother swears by Scarpa and if your looking for fairly decent price I've had various Berghaus in the past and there pretty decent and always on sale👌
