"Sharp Edge is a rising crest of naked rock, of sensational and spectacular appearance a breaking wave carved in stone."
A. Wainwright

During the summer months we take on one of the major edges of the Lake District, Sharp Edge on Blencathra. With it's high levels of exposure the adrenaline will be pumping.

This is not a walk to be taken lightly it requires a guide or a good level of skill with many years experience to enjoy this ridge safely.

Many inexperienced walkers have been fooled into thinking they can make the edge walk and the local mountain rescue reports can tell you the outcome, we ourselves have had to guide strangers down to safety!

The views from the ridge are breathtaking this is definitely a walk you will be talking about for some time.

Sharp Edge is a classic edge, shorter but a little harder than Striding Edge. Why not join one of our guided walks and let our experienced instructors guide you up this classic route in safety.
