What was supposed to be an easier Easter weekend of Wainwright-bagging, is now a monster race weekend as i'll be taking on the TWA.

Went round most of the route on a training run in December, not really noticing that most of it was an established race route.

Thinking out loud... Outerside to Grasmoor… it seems the accepted racing line is via Coledale Hause? it can't be that much easier than going along the ridge via Eel Crag, can it?

I know the answer... do both and find out! But whilst the ridge route would entail more climbing, it's undoubtedly on better paths and you don't drop right down to Coledale Hause.

Anyone else ever thought about this or am i alone in my stupidity?
