i did hellvelyn the other day, go up the stragles edge way.
You have about 2k drop each side and have about 2m width of rock to walk accross.
I did it the other day when it was fogged in 30-35mph winds, was awesome:P
the start is last about a third of the way up is the hardest after and before that its easy. harder then scarfell
