Helvellyn climbers Notes

Rubén from NORWAY writes:

Beautiful mountain, but not to be underestimated. Weather is extreme and unpredictable even in summer in my experience. Just assume it's gonna be windy. Striding edge a real experience and should not be done without confidence. For people that are a bit more scared (I don't blame you), the circular from swirls is a great alternative
