That is an awesome video. I agree with you that the guy holding the camera has nerves of steel!!

You would not get me up there. I want to live a bit longer!! :D

Great videos of Sharp Edge and Crib Goch. I find as I get older such places are less attractive to me. Perhaps it's a recognition of mortality. I have been up West Wall Traverse (I was taken there in my youth and was terrified - I couldn't face it now), came down Striding Edge once (and am queasy about returning) and have long discounted the prospect of Jack's Rake. I was even slightly uncomfortable last year on Striding Edge. :-[

Much happier striding out over the fellsides.

Just got round to watching some of these. Don't think I've taken Sharp Edge off my 'really must do that sometime' but Crib Goch, think I'll give that a miss until they've put a railing up :D just watching it made me feel queasy :'(

Dockray - with all those ascents via Sharp Edge you must be able to do it blindfold ;) very impressive.

Jenny.

I've done it a few times in the summer on a dry day without using my hands but blindfold, I'm sorry I won't be trying that!

He definitely deserves a medal at least! I've been making videos during the winter with one hand holding a camera and it's not always advisable.
Two hands are a lot more handy than one when it comes to ridges.
