Pussywillow – when you say Red Pike do you mean the one overlooking Buttermere, that starts with a red coloured natural chute leading into steep rocky trail down to a tarn heading towards Buttermere? Always fancied that one myself. I know what you mean about Dollywagon – basically a flight of steps. Rosset is good though, or was a few years back – might be ruined now.

Absolutley spot on!! But u climb up that red steep chute then down the other side. Although I bet it would be good doing it both ways.

Easdale Tarn is a challenge, especially in the wet.

Halls fell ridge would surely be a massive amount of carrying even if you were seriously good?

Yeah it’s been a while since I walked it but the was a reasonable amount of (easy) scrambling IIRC and very steep in places. Would require a riding god surely.

Some say Sharp Edge is an easier scramble than Halls Fell Ridge.

Probably correct if not for the one exposed slab on Sharp Edge and the more exposed finish. Halls Fell is a wonderfully pure line straight to the top especially in the snow. Not sure I could ride either though!!!

Has anyone ridden halls fell or doddick from Blencathra? Just interested!

Both are techie and fun. Doddick you can drop into following the fix the fells / zigzag section off the summit of Blencathra. With Halls Fell, we find it’s easier to walk up to a point about 100m(ish) off the summit then turn around and head down (that top section isn’t ridable). I’ve not cleared both but there’s a few riders in town that come pretty close.
