I took some pics on the Kentmere side (where it’s always been fairly rough) but didn’t get any on the Troutbeck side.
I’m even tempted to suggest that the Troutbeck side is now actually rougher than the Kentmere side, certainly in places.
Not that I tried (I came down it) but the Troutbeck side is not climbable in its current state. It used to be a tough but doable climb in the past.
It kinda took the edge off the ride really. We pushed/carried up large parts of the ascent from Kentmere, then ended up scrambling down the other side. No real flow to it. It has the repuation as one of the best Lakes routes but in its current state it’s a bit of a mess unfortunately.
