Excellent video :).. I finally got to do these last year.. Decades after we drove past when was young, shouting stop the car!!... Rock Rocks, and Elbow just jutting out like it does right from the road side is just amazing.. Eventually got to do something called Matterhorn aswell :)) Well done folks Great Video!
@@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson It has to be one of the Coolest Grooves on any Landscape in England... By'eck we're blessed... Will watch more of your videos now after seeing that. Probably have rewatch of this video again at somepount. Big Up Folks Living Life Outdoors :)
Awesome video mate, thank you for sharing! I'm planning on taking on Elbow Ridge next week (weather/rock conditions permitting) as my first more difficult and exposed scramble. Only have experience on grade 1-2 scrambles, but a few years of bouldering experience. This seems like a nice fun one to try carefully without faffing with gear.
You will love it! I thought it would be harder than it was as I treated it with a rock climbing mind rather than a walk/hike which meant I was a bit more careful. Enjoy!
@@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson That's great to hear. Yes I've kind of thought of it as a free solo climb (maybe a bit dramatic, but that keeps my mind focused on a "3 points of contact", "no fall" mentality😂). So my idea is to treat it with all the respect that deserves, and then hopefully be rewarded with an incredibly fun ridge scramble! The plan will be to start with the ridge, then have a good day's walking after that - though I might end up going up it several times in a row if I enjoy it enough 😅
Genuine Question: Do you know with the isolated 'seat' that is behind you from 6 minutes onwards is called? Not plugging, but I've uploaded a video of me on it and I have no idea if it even has a name. Iv'e just called it 'The Giddy Seat', because of a near by trail. Excellent video by the way. I may have to give scrambling a go.
Thanks for the reply. Iv'e just named it 'The Giddy Seat', because if a nearby trail. There is also a cave near by called 'Suicide Cave', but I thought better off it. I'll maybe see you scrambling sometime soon. Cheers. @@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson
I've been to Castleton and Winnats many tens of times. Why did I not know about these scrambles? They look perfect. I will be a taking a look next time (if I can drag someone away from nasty dirty potholing). Presumably hardly any of it is actually v-diff?
It was pretty easy. We had harnesses, rope and gear but never had to use it. I would sat more like a Mod but with real exposure which is what pushes it up I think. Definately worth doing both! Elbow Ridge has more exposure but Matterhorn Ridge was the best :)

Everything about this is brilliant ❤️
Thank you! 😁
Excellent camera work.
Thank you+
love the music you have used
I'll watch anything to do with the peak district :) thanks for sharing Joe!
Next weeks is another Peak District video too :)
Why is the guy in orange trying to go up it so fast? I hear there’s a lot of loose stuff on there. Seems very risky.
He fancied a bit of a faster pace.
@@WalkingintheWildwithJoeJackson I can see that 😂

I actually do not know if it has a name sorry! Definately an awesome scramble!

Do you think this will be OK to do after wet weather with grippy shoes or should it only be tracked in absolutely dry conditions?
I would say only dry conditions as the limestone is very slippery when wet 👍
Nice video. Thanks for sharing! Can you send a pin for the parking location?
We parked just outside of Castleton here maps.app.goo.gl/w4bx8ARKhtLh4tMr8
Cool...i often look up at them and think..Nah !!
Its easier than it looks but you must have a head for heights!
O MY DAYS 😲 .... DEFINITELY not for me, but how brave were you guys! Great video 😃.
Do you recommend doing this in climbing shoes or is trail running shoes enough?
Im pretty sure we did it in climbing shoes
