Description

Probably the hardest two legs of the Bob Graham Round. There are two steep climbs out of Dunmail and Wasdale with the climb of Yewbarrow being particularly trying on already tired legs.

The ascents of Scafell and Kirk Fell (this route climbs Scafell via Lord's Rake and the West Wall Traverse) involve very steep, loose, rocky gullies. The mid section of Leg 3 from Bowfell to Broad crag covers some very rough and rocky ground which is especially difficult when wet. On a clear day navigation is no problem but in poor visibility it is much more difficult.
