    Brilliant video. Thanks for sharing . I know I will never see crinkle crags that way. This video had it all. Scenery, excitement, risk assessment in mountains, on the fly decision making to maximise safety.
    Brilliant 🔥

    Like I said on your previous video, no pretentious bullshit and no ego. Conditions weren't right, you turned round and found an alternative route.
    I'm loving your videos! I really appreciate the time you put in to make each one 🙏🏻

    Good circuit in thin & tricky conditions - the traverse to the great slab is hairy enough in good weather, spot-on decision making. I remember in the 80s there was a Bad Step bypass tunnel under a chockstone ...shame it collapsed in the early 90s. Enjoying dipping into the channel

    I did the same on cold January day. It was so windy and icy on the summit of Crinkle 1 that I could barely stand. It was better to retreat and have a tale to tell.

    Enjoyed the vid Dave. Did similar route in July but from the Wrynose and over the Crinkes then back via. the Band and Blea Tarn. My problem was the heat! Lol
    Must try your route when we get some decent snow. ATB. Hope you get back on the hill soon? 👍

    Must do Crinkle Crags and Bowfell, one of the few bigger days I have not done in the Lakes. Good judgement with that path too bud. If it doesn’t feel right then it probably isn’t. Simon 👍

    Very enjoyable watch and a very sensible decision to to do the climbers travers in those conditions, especially with nobody else about. Superb scenery and great editing, I think I will have a lot of watch time over the next 6 weeks, cheers Alan

      It’s all too easy to get sucked into difficult situations in the mountains. And common sense sometimes isn’t very common. Listening to that little voice in your head is often the best course of action. Even if you don’t really agree with it. Glad you enjoyed it Graham. I love Crinkle Crags, especially in winter. Thanks for watching and stay safe - Dave
