Dan -- You make it seem so easy. Perhaps in some of your future videos you could highlight particularly difficult parts of the climb, eg, this is a grade 3 scramble and should not be attempted by newbies, and highlight why these spots are so dangerous. There are many excellent climbers out there who are very good at what they do, and after reaching the summit may say "Oh that was a refreshing climb," and glide over the very dangerous parts which is what us newbies are interested in. A shot showing the perilous drop is also a good warning about how some of these climbs can go wrong. We appreciate all the good advice and excellent videos you produce.

Hi, thanks for watching. You are right that we are all at different levels. That’s why it’s super important to review your route using various sources, especially if you are less experienced. Enjoy the hills and stay safe 😎

@@danpattinson Dan -- I believe that people who are interested in hill/mountain walking will find their own level eventually, but this requires practice and time. Newbies who clearly are not up for it, should consider taking a simpler route as you say. There is always another day to tackle that more difficult climb. Never pretend to be an experienced climber when you are not. Keeping a log book of your climbs is useful too.

Hi Dan, this is an amazing video series which I have enjoyed watching, thank you. Were other members of the group also affected by the altitude, and is it something you can 'train around' in advance before starting the trip?
@danpattinson Ай бұрын
Hi Henry, thanks for watching. One girl in our group was airlifted from Gorak Shep. Her vision was getting blurry as her brain was starting to swell! She was lucky to get down when she did. I think my issue was that I just wasn’t drinking enough. I’m not a big water drinker at the best of times, but I was only having about a litre each day. I should have been drinking around three. You can’t really train for the altitude, and you can be affected differently each time. The best thing is to take it slowly, ascend little by little, and drink plenty of water! Another good tip I would give is to take Vicks Vapor rub to help keep your nose clear during the night.

Personal opinion: I have done Lord's Rake four times and the last time almost two years ago when I was 60. It looks quite intimidating when you are stood at the bottom. On all occasions I took the right hand route. It's an enclosed scree gully with good hand grips all the way. It is moderately strenuous but a pure joy to do. Steadily make your way up checking foot and hand holds. The tricky bit is at the top where the check stone was. Prolly you'll need to remove your rucksack and take it on the left. You'll have to haul your ass up this bit. Take your time and enjoy the trip, it's not technically difficult. I don't like heights or exposure and you don't really experience this. There is really no where to fall anyway except a slide a few meters down the scree. Make sure your grips and just enjoy it. I would recommend being properly equipped esp with good boots.

Hi, thanks for watching, it was a truly amazing trek. As for altitude sickness, yes I did get sick and didn’t make base camp. I put it down too food or a bug, but it could have been altitude. The one thing I think I could have been better at was drinking water. Make sure you drink plenty. Other tips I would give is take some Vics run to help clear your nose while you sleep. Also use a buff over your nose and mouth as much as possible to stop the cold air doing any damage. Even wear it while you sleep. Most of all enjoy and take loads of photos.

Its still a great route, and works well in reverse too. The quickest/shortest route up to Lords Rake is from Wasdale Head, but it is brutally steep. Then from Scafell follow my route to Scafell Pike.

@danpattinson Жыл бұрын
One of the reasons I chose the trek I did was because it climbed slower than others I looked at. I think I was just unlucky and picked up a stomach bug and along with the altitude factor, made me rough. Most of the group were fine with the altitude, but obviously it effects different people in different ways. We saw many solo trekkers heading up as we were going down that were planning to gain too much elevation in one day.

@@danpattinson Yeah, could be just bad luck, and if you had not been to those altitudes previously it could be genetic also. In my experience about 15% of trekkers start to have problems at above 4300m altitude. Maybe I was to hasty in my judgement. Better luck next time!
