Helvellyn via Striding Edge - After almost 30 years, how do you get down the Chimney - 25th Jun 2024

Is Striding Edge dangerous, I would say it is as one wrong step or handhold and it could result in a serious injury or death.
Therefore, take great care if you go up Helvellyn via this route.
A big hello to Emma, who we chatted to on the top and on the way down
