Blencathra from Scales via Sharp Edge; descent down Doddick Fell. 9.6 km, 803 m ascent. 4 hours 30 mins. Conditions were wet with a thin film of ice on Sharp Edge - not enough to wear crampons but slippery. We decided to practice moving together and the final scramble after Sharp Edge we treated as two pitches (? V Diff in these conditions).
AKA Quad Rugby.
We saw the excellent documentary film Murderball over the holidays and did some research to find out that there was a tournament being held in San Jose this weekend. Soon there will be video at video.google.com too (it'll take some time for google to make it live, just search for "quad rugby" in a week or so).

For those who can't see much in the previous panorama, here is the important central detail of Foule Crag and Sharp Edge on Blencathra.

The descent from Souther Fell provided me with my first real view of Sharp Edge, the famous ridge route of ascent of Blencathra.

Slightly crazy people taking toddlers and even a baby up Hall's End Ridge... What's wrong with people?!

Zamia furfuracea is a cycad native to southeastern Veracruz state in eastern Mexico. Although not a palm tree (Arecaceae), its growth habit is superficially similar to a palm; therefore it is commonly known as "Cardboard Palm" but the alternate name Cardboard Cycad is preferable. Other names include Cardboard Plant, Cardboard Sago, Jamaican Sago and Mexican Cycad (from Mexican Spanish Cícada Mexicana). The plant's binomial name comes from the Latin zamia, for "pine nut", and furfuracea, meaning "mealy" or "scurfy".
All parts of the plant are poisonous to animals and humans. The toxicity causes liver and kidney failure, as well as eventual paralysis. Dehydration sets in very quickly. No treatment for the poisoning is currently known.
Edited close-up image from Opportunity of a rock with nice 90° angles. (It looks like a paver you'd buy at a gardening store...)

The weather was perfect to climb Blencathra via Sharp Edge. We parked in Mungrisdale and headed up the river Glenderamackin. After walking over to Knowe Crags on the top, we retraced our steps to Hallsfell Top and then came out over Mungrisdale Common and Bowscale Fell.
This time I went up with Chris in fog & mist... Thought it would clear - but it didn't so came down Sharp Edge in the fog!
Done it the fog & in the dark but not in sunshine - yet!!
As we approached the edge to look down Middle Tongue on Blencathra, these sheep appeared out of nowhere.
Spoke to these young lads on the summit of Blencathra, they were fully enthralled with their experience & were in high spirits after ascending Sharp Edge.My feet were firmly on Scale fell
