New Comment: A wet col, a steep climb and long ridge walk to big cairn with good views
by Fergalh  Tue 29 Oct
From Little Whernside followed the fence again to a wet col and another steep climb. Than a long walk following a fence and wall which eventually led to the summit. This ridge section was largely dry and easy underfoot and the large cairn and trig pillar at the summit was easily spotted. From there a sometimes steep drip into valley led to Kettlewell Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/B2781/comment/24312/
