A Painting of the Lake Districts stunning Blencathra's . Halls Fell Ridge .Mixed media on paper 50x70cm
Halls Fell Ridge is Blencathra second biggest challenge to climb. It is also a great place to sit and sketch. Taking in the airy drop to the valley floor, the constant movement of clouds and the hard granite rock gives the painter a kind of reverential experience. The Lake District Fells are still wild and demand respect, beauty can be cruel. Here it's rare to see or hear someone screaming from a mountain bike, talking on a mobile phones and no litter. Its as close as you can get to a Scottish Munroe ridge and is the best day out for me in the Northern Fells. I've cut and pasted the Mud and Routes web page at the bottom of the painting images.

" Excerpt from Mud and Routes web site
Hall’s Fell Ridge – a superb airy approach to Blencathra and a worthy alternative to Sharp Edge. Certainly a contender for the best half-day route in the Lake District.
Hall’s Fell Ridge has some short, exposed sections that should only be attempted if you’re confident in your abilities and have a head for heights. However, these sections can be safely avoided.
The upper crest of Hall’s Fell is classed as Grade 1 scrambling and, like Sharp Edge, the slate rock can be particularly slippery when wet.
Under snow and ice the ridge is a sustained Winter Grade 1 climb requiring ice axe, crampons and plenty of winter walking experience
This walk includes the Wainwright of Blencathra – Hallsfell Top
