Patterdale
Red Tarn sits nesteled between Striding and Swirral Edges, with a backdrop of Hevellyn's eastern face providing a great deal of atmosphere. A great easy route without too much ascent.
An airy exposed scramble on the slopes of St Sunday Crag. Makes a fun, if somewhat short outing. Graded at Grade 3 in the summer, in winter conditions it becomes a mini Alpine ridge.
