Rab Helvellyn Sky Ultra

Rab Helvellyn Sky Ultra An event for mountain connoisseurs, Lakes Sky Ultra is a hardcore mountain trail race taking in classic ridgelines, graded rock scrambles and fast descents

Race Date: 12th September 2015. Starting on the streets of Ambleside, you will climb up to Fairfield, before dropping down across the scree slopes to Grisdale Tarn and then traversing the Helvellyn massif. One of the best descents in the Lake District gives way to the classic mountain top of Catstycam before plunging to the valley floor below. Climbing back onto Striding Edge, the route tops out b

ack on the Helvellyn massif before taking the less-known line off Nethermost Pike into Grisedale. A long uphill slog (the second steepest in the Lake District) will ensure the heart is beating hard before you commit to the exposure and steepness of Pinnacle Ridge itself (a grade III scramble). Tasty! The crux of the race complete, a fast descent into Patterdale and the chance for a refuel at the supplied aid station before climbing once again onto the high tops to visit Angle Tarn, The Knott and High Street. Another bone shaking descent off Long Stile to Blea Water and straight back up via Piot Crag. Your lungs should be burning by now, but some fantastic undulating running over Caudale Moor back to Kirkstone Pass and the final resupply point. One last climb - up Red Screes via Kilnshaw Chimney, a real corker, and then the fast 5km descent back to Ambleside.
