Whernside

Dobbo (left) and me (right) at the summit of Whernside, the highest mountain we had climbed at the time (26th Oct 06). It was so cold our camera packed in shortly after!

Whernside (736m/ 2415ft)- the highest mountain in Yorkshire- seen from Simon Fell (650m), Ingleborough's eastern summit.


Here a a couple of photos from a great trip to the dales Jake, Dobbo and I went on to climb Whernside and Mount Ingleborough. Despite what most walkers think, Whernside is a great mountain, especialy in terms of shape and views and is made far more fun if one forsakes the vile tourise route and ascends directly up the E (Skelside) Face for a superp grassy scramble. Sod majority of opinion, it is a grand mountain well worth climbing.
Photo- wise, is it just me or are there hardly any good quality photos of Whernside on the web? I hope this one will sort that out!
