Description: From Patterdale, we head up Grizedale, then up the side of the valley, to Hole-in-the-Wall, then along Striding Edge to the top of Helvellyn. Return is via Swirral Edge to Catstye Cam, then back to Patterdale via Glenridding.
Striding Edge is a fairly easy scramble, with big drops on either side of a narrow ridge, making it the classic route to the top.
