Martin 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!!  derek |

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. David (Woodford Wimp) |

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 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.

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.
