Description

Set off from Scales Farm and headed for Scales Tarn, was undecided what route I was going to take from there but decided to try Sharp Edge. Proceeded along the ridge to the head wall at the end and decided to turn around and head back down due to wind and visibility. Ascended the summit via the track from tarn to Hallsfell Top. Very Cold on top with 10 metre vis.
Headed back down via scales fell.

Area : Northern Fells

Generally this is the area to the north of the A66 which runs from Penrith to Cockermouth and the town of Keswick.
