Blencathra via Halls Fell Ridge

keeping to the top of the ridge
can you see Skye waiting for us?
Perfect conditions for Halls Fell ridge, my favourite way up Blencathra.  Sharp Edge may be the most famous (or infamous) way up Blencathra but give me Halls Fell ridge anyday! Any Lake District walker who enjoys a bit of scrambling would revel in this walk.  We climbed dry rock with no wind and the misty cloud was just clearing as we reached the summit. Just the conditions for keeping to the knife edge all the way without taking refuge on the earth paths which seem to have developed over the last few years on the sides of the ridge.
