  • Hi just a short video I put together of my favourite clips from climbing Helvellyn Today. The route I took included Striding Edge which is a ridge line near to the summit of Helvellyn in the English Lake District. It'sknown as a grade 1 scramble, and having done Crib Goch Ridge on mount Snowdon, Striding Edge is a lot easier and just an enjoyable walk that you can make as hard as you like by climbing the pinnacles and staying off the paths!

    Did this I'm bad weather and it's not a good idea. Not for the faint hearted. And not for a bunch of amateurs. Didn't really get to enjoy any of it, just getting down the other edge and back on a path. Snowy, windy and poor visibility. Do it on a good day anyone having the idea.

      I've done it a few times clear day its amazing. Done it when it was bad conditions zero visibility up on summit nearly had a panic attack thought I wouldn't find a way down winds were blasting could barely see 2 meters infront.. freezing cold. Luckily got down safe

    • @fissionengineering8129
      @fissionengineering8129  3 роки тому

      Thanks, I used a Mavic Pro at the time, it had follow me mode which I used for this vid. I've since had a mavic air 2 and the HDR made the washed out sky a thing of the past.

  • @karlofandango6108
    @karlofandango6108 2 роки тому +1

    Great video mate. I took the "easy" route up snowden recently, never done scrambling before, would you recommend this one to start on as a beginner (on a good day)

    • @AlexTunstall
      @AlexTunstall 2 роки тому +2

      I assume you mean llanberis path? Depends on if you have a head for heights - I wouldn't go for something with so much duration if I were you. Perhaps start with the Pyg Track on snowdon. then maybe do Nantlle Ridge nearby that has some scrambling, but little enough that you don't have to commit for hours. If after all of these you're itching for further challenge, crib goch and striding edge sound like the place to go :)

    This video is excellent. For the POV chest mount climbing shots are you on a particular section of striding edge e.g the chimney, or are there several sections similar to this on the ridge? I am going there in a couple of weeks.

    • @fissionengineering8129
      @fissionengineering8129  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks, most of them are on the chimney and some of them are on the final steep scramble up to the summit just after the ridge. The video is a mix of all different bits going both ways but most of the head/chest shots are on those two sections, enjoy your day out.
