Great video Joe. Pillar Rock is to be my final Birkett. Two more walks until then though! The interminable Dore Head screes! 😂 Descend them once and remember it for a lifetime! I remember wobbly walking back to Wasdale Head after coming down there!
The most exposed section is the scramble up to Kirk Fell from Black Sail Pass. It definately requires hands and feet but not difficult. Coming down is Ok too. If you head down Dorehead Screes like I did you can see how steep it is and loose underfoot the whole way making it tricky but you can make the walk longer and go down an easier way to the west and down to Wast Water.

I thought Dore Head Screes was going to be worse but I didnt enjoy going down it haha! Ive still got about 200 Birketts left to do...
Awesome, yet again.
Great video, informative, beautifully shot, really appreciate the editing style, a beautiful display of the Fells!
Thank you 😁
Classic walk
Fantastic
Wow, stunning. Great video work, as always!
How technical is this route? Is there a lot of exposure and/or scrambling required or can they be avoided?

Beautiful photography can you please tell me what cameras you used including the drone
Thank you, I use the Mavic Air, Sony A7Riii and GoPro Hero 7
Brilliant video only thing missing would be the total distance
17km - a bit of text on the right just as the route is being shown on Google Earth :)
This video is just saying, "yeah climb it", then mountain rescue are going to have to get you down.
Really irresponsible, you need a lot of safety measures going up there even in summer.
