Ascended Sharp Edge onto Blencathra. Started at Scales Farm and walked up the steep slope to the path junction on the side of Scales Fell.
Good conditions underfoot with a layer of ice formed on the Knife edge traverse albeit the weather conditions were overcast. When we had finished the Edge traverse, the cloud came in and created white out conditions which proved difficult to navigate in. Eventually found the summit plateau of Blencathra (hallsfell Top) and descended to the road via Scales Fell. Full winter conditions experienced on top with the cloud coming in.
