The west ridge of Hopegill Head

This is the view along the ridge from Hopegill Head to Whiteside and beyond to the West Cumbria countryside and the Irish Sea. For this walk, in 2013, I drove four hours to the North Western Fells in the Lake District and climbed the almost impregnable west face of Grasmoor that Wainwright described as "probably less difficult than the North Wall of the Eiger". After doing that I realised I hadn't told anyone where I was going. No one knew I was in the Lake District. Fortunately I survived and took this picture before descending from the end of the ridge only to then have to drive four hours back home.
