There are many fine ways to climb Helvellyn but an ascent via Striding Edge has to be considered the most spectacular of all. This is a classic grade 1 scramble which will require four points of contact on parts of the ridge. We will also be descending via Swirral edge, which is another grade 1 scramble.It should take us approximately 5-6 hours to complete, depending on the groups pace. The total distance is approximately 8 miles with close to 3,000ft of ascent. The ascent along Striding Edge is thrilling, with exhilarating sections that will get your heart racing. But don't worry; our guides are there to support you through the more challenging parts, making it a manageable adventure for hikers of varying experience levels.
