    Steel Fell: It is not a completely direct ascent. You go up the usual way for a while and then cross the stream and go diagonally below the first lot of crags. There are lots of boulders about and the saving is marginal. I have done it and don't think much of it. I believe Joss Naylor used to go that way. In the dark, straight up is best.

    From the way you describe it , I think My traverse took me further left...it was more than justone crag away... I hit the top at least 500 M west of the usual place.

    But I was never boulder hopping

    Agree about dark, and for most of the summer there is too much bracken too.

    There is also the Dark Peak/Penistone attempt on the 20-21st and Pennines the week later, I'm sure there are many others if you want to do some support legs.

    Do you have details and do they need help? I live in the NE lakes and keen to support any leg.
