In the last couple of weeks I've turned back twice with clients on Striding Edge due to conditions, limited daylight and it being the right call in the moment.

Today however... Me and 81yr old G did the proper ridge. Not the path we saw the 20 year old blokes on, not the mishmash we watched an incredibly agile fell runner on, but the crest, the pointy bits, the Ridge.
The forecast strong winds arrived early and wisely we decided not to try and get over Helvellyn summit and leave ourselves cold and with a probable descent of Swirral Edge by headtorch, but it didn't matter. A grand day out had already been achieved.
