Im 14 as of now just done this with my dad it was pretty fun and the views were amazing, we were there at the top when the northern lights happened it was amazing! I hate heights but mountaineering is so fun
Very enjoyable video Andy. Especially loved how you shot the opening scene, very atmospheric. In fact, great photography throughout. Some gorgeous scenes of our green and pleasant land. I felt as if I was with you...still shivering! Overall, entertaining and inspiring.
Great video, Andy! I for one, admire the shots you painstakingly film of you walking away or to the camera..... it must put so much more time into climb ! Also, I can't figure out why you don't have more subscribers! Loving the walks and the camp videos, think that's a winner
It's become very eroded, I remember 45 years ago or more the path was barely a sheep trod. Blencathra is always a good day out 👌 Thanks for sharing, ATB Alistair 👍
Great video Andy as always! I’ve visited Blencathra twice but never via this route so it’s now firmly on my “to do” list! 😮 beautiful Views and that noisy wind reminds me of both Blencathra and Hellvellyn 😅 keep em comin’ 👍
Great post Andy. Wainwright in the guides said "this route is positively the finest way to any mountain top in the district". It's probably my favourite route too. Fantastic views and a real sense of exposure without being too difficult. Looked a bit chilly to say the least!
Nice one Andy. I’ve done that ridge a couple of times and combined it with the ascent of Sharp Edge. It’s good fun but definitely a slog to the summit of Blencathra. Great views down Middle Tongue, too. ATB bud 👍
Blencathra is like the gatekeeper for the northern Lakes as you come down the A66 - you know you've arrived when you see it. We've done the Sharp edge/ Hall's Fell route both ways more than once - and backed out because of wind and rain! You've really captured the route well in this video. Thanks for sharing.
I attempted a camp up there one october a few years back. My sleeping mat failed and I had to get off the hill in the dark. Also that ring is a replacement to the one that was previously stolen. Ive spoken to the lad who took it up there with a group of people. Great video as always mate. ATB
Great video Andy I was fancied doing halls fell ridge probably at my personal limit for scrambling does the side path run all the way up I have done tryfan South ridge and found that ok anyway look forward to watching your other videos in future best wishes steve
Yes please I was thinking the same thing..? Great video as always Andy,love the commentary too,your a very knowledgeable fella..I couldn't remember half of what you do 🙈😵👍
Interesting vid. Windy. Not sure I’d grade it grade 1 scramble? Crib Goch and Tower Ridge on Snowdon is a grade 1 scramble due to the sustained need to use 3 points of contact. That ridge looked a bit too broken to call it a scramble. Challenging walk I’d class it as?
Good insight into the ridge, looking forward to doing it. Is that the Infinity Microlight jacket Andy? I got the same one before Christmas, bloody brilliant piece of kit :-)

Thank you. A joy to watch. You keep adding to the 'bucket list'!
Stunning views..thanks for bringing this to our screens.
Great hike! Sadly a quarter of the summit trig sign is now missing.

Great one Andy, fantastic ridge line scramble I might look into this one thanks mate 👍🥃
Enjoyed that, looks like a great day hike with a bit of scrambling thrown in.
Fantastic video Andy you’ve captured the sprit of Halls fell ridge and Blencathra thanks for stirring great memories for me
Great video, Andy! I for one, admire the shots you painstakingly film of you walking away or to the camera..... it must put so much more time into climb !

i like to try to give you guys as much of the experience as im having so a bit of back & forth for the camera is part & parcel of it..
Really enjoying your day hikes too. Excellent stuff. 👍👍👍
It's become very eroded, I remember 45 years ago or more the path was barely a sheep trod.
Blencathra is always a good day out 👌 Thanks for sharing, ATB Alistair 👍
Thanks as always Andrew. I very much enjoy doing your walks and climbs by proxy!
Incredible video Andy, that wind even sounded cutting. Thanks for sharing
I went to camp up there last Summer, it was crazy busy and no one was leaving, ended up dropping down to Souther fell. Very quiet. Enjoyed they TFS 👍
Great video Andy as always! I’ve visited Blencathra twice but never via this route so it’s now firmly on my “to do” list! 😮 beautiful
Views and that noisy wind reminds me of both Blencathra and Hellvellyn 😅 keep em comin’ 👍
Brilliant mountain Blencathra, it’s got it all…
Great post Andy. Wainwright in the guides said "this route is positively the finest way to any mountain top in the district". It's probably my favourite route too. Fantastic views and a real sense of exposure without being too difficult. Looked a bit chilly to say the least!
dont think you can argue with that it is a fine route up & one ill do again for sure..
Nice one Andy. I’ve done that ridge a couple of times and combined it with the ascent of Sharp Edge. It’s good fun but definitely a slog to the summit of Blencathra. Great views down Middle Tongue, too. ATB bud 👍
great ridge pal id love to do it again as i still plan on doing a camp up there at some point.tfw bud.
Love the day walk thanks for sharing 👍

ayy its the first fell you see coming down the a66 at that point you know youve hit the lakes.
Excellent Andy, ill be heading back up the hills myself shortly Glencoe region early March, keep up the good work mate.
I attempted a camp up there one october a few years back. My sleeping mat failed and I had to get off the hill in the dark.
Also that ring is a replacement to the one that was previously stolen. Ive spoken to the lad who took it up there with a group of people. Great video as always mate. ATB
thats good to hear i didnt know that itd been replaced with a new one..good stuff.
Great video Andy I was fancied doing halls fell ridge probably at my personal limit for scrambling does the side path run all the way up I have done tryfan South ridge and found that ok anyway look forward to watching your other videos in future best wishes steve
My god, that wind! Reminds me of a very blustery South Downs walk a couple of years back. Barely able to stand up!
Nice one pal. Defo one for a winter ascent. 👌
Great ridge. I've only done sharp edge in winter. Perfect footage as always. Interesting boots, are they Scarpa?
yes the scarpa ribelle light hd.
Looked great Andy.
I've been eyeing up Blencathra, but unfortunately anything with scrambling will be waiting for a few months due to a fractured shoulder
Good video Andy ,be good to bump into you at some point on the fells.👍
Would you believe I’ve just seen two lads come up that carrying mountain bikes. They were looking a bit stressed 🤣
Which route did come back down Andy ?
Incredible sir
Cheers Andy short but still quality. Can you show us how you secure your polls to your side when your walking please.
Yes please I was thinking the same thing..? Great video as always Andy,love the commentary too,your a very knowledgeable fella..I couldn't remember half of what you do 🙈😵👍
Jay, as Andy starts his walk I follow it on an OS map and hopefully I might have a go at it.
the osprey packs have a feature which allows you to stow the poles like that..next hiking video ill feature it & explain how it works..

Good insight into the ridge, looking forward to doing it. Is that the Infinity Microlight jacket Andy? I got the same one before Christmas, bloody brilliant piece of kit :-)
it is the infinity yes great jacket for popping on in the hills whilst having a brew stop etc..also whilst doing some light walking too.
How much walking did ya do before ya took up camping mate
ive been walking since my school days..one of my old school teachers was a keen walker who i did a lot with.
Another vid without camping....not my bag these andy.
