Solo climbing Jacks Rake Step by Step Guide

** Disclaimer

This video shows step by step by route up Jack's Rake on a recent circular route in the Lake District. This is NOT a guide and is there to show my route and not instructions on how to tackle this climb. As always, if you are looking to tackle this route make sure you have experience and confidence on these types of scrambles and take safety precautions. Only last weekend sadly two people in separate accidents passed away Tryfan which is a start reminder how we all need to be really careful.

I personally have made the decision to purchase a climbing helmet for future scrambles and recommend anyone who scrambles to also consider doing this. Stay safe everyone.

Maria Eftimova was well known within the hiking community and sadly was one of the people who tragically lost their life at the weekend, my heart goes out to her family. If you would like to support her family, a Go Fund Me has been set up by her friends and you can donate here: https://tinyurl.com/HelpBringMariaHome
