I FINALLY did THIS mountain and it DIDN'T disappoint!

In today's video I am in the Lake District. Today's walk is up the 3rd highest mountain in the Lake District - Helvellyn. I will be taking on the infamous striding edge. A route I have planned to take for many years but haven't got around to it - until now!

It’s certainly the most dramatic in the Lakes, well done!

[@uptosummit_]

Yeah, the views looking back over striding edge are incredible, thanks!

[@BobI-jb4rk]

Mad respect to you for having the balls to adventure travel the way that you do!

[@uptosummit_]

Thanks, that's what life's all about!

[@suec999]

My goodness! My stomach was in knots until you got back on a flatish path. Great shots of the steep sides and surrounding views. Must be a great feeling to be able to say you've done striding edge. Well done ! That was an epic video, thanks 👍

[@uptosummit_]

Thank you, it was great fun! Next on my list is Blencathra via Sharp Edge.

[@suec999]

@@uptosummit_ I'll look forward to it. Please be careful!

[@royhumphrey49]

Never did it - such a woos I was.

[@uptosummit_]

That's unfortunate, I think Blencathra via Sharp Edge is next for me!

[@mark77woody]

Did it on Tuesday. I shit myself a few times I'll admit. The Chimney or bad step was a bit sketchy for sure.

[@uptosummit_]

The last climb down off the end is definitely the hardest part. Well done on completing it!

[@xXxDwarfYxXx]

Took my mum up there a couple weeks back, was our first time. Amazing place in the lakes. 👌 Thanks for the video/s! 👍👍

[@uptosummit_]

It's a beautiful location, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Summit_Up_There]

Ive started me youtube now id love to tackle this but i bring me dog everywhere with me it doesnt seem dawg friendly 😢

[@uptosummit_]

Start off on small mountains and work your way up to it. Always know your limits and turn around if it's unsafe, good luck!

[@Summit_Up_There]

@uptosummit_ oh ill clamber up no problem, i just want to bring me pooch with me but im not sure terrain like that would be practical for her :(
