CHALLENGING SCRAMBLE JACK’S RAKE to PAVEY ARK SUMMIT - Wild Camping Solo with a Dog Lake District UK
Рет қаралды 57,977
Жыл бұрынJACK’S RAKE - A GRADE 1 SCRAMBLE
Jack’s Rake is a challenge not for the faint hearted! It is dangerous due to its exposure with the possibility of a long fall in several places. Once committed the climb back down is equally as hard as the climb to the summit. A place to take serious care and caution and I wouldn’t advise doing it with a dog as risks will increase for you both. It is an epic route and in good dry conditions with some solid scrambling experience, an amazing challenge.
Adventure hard but take care

Took me back 30+ years to when I did the Rake with some army mates. So familiar! We met some ill-equipped and ill-prepared civies trying to come down it! One was cragfast on the main pitch Luckily, we managed to persuade them up was the only achievable route for them, and with the aid of the trusty rope we always had stowed,got them through the tricky bits. Great memories and a great place. So picturesque! Gread vid chap and Blue is amazing 👏

Oh my lord Blue's face when you put the pan on the mat. I could see the internal dialogue: "Oh yeah food time... oh no, maybe water? oh right no he's just showing the camera the water thing... wait a pan? I'm eating from the pan? Why's it on your knee? wait.... that's MY plate, why are YOU eating it????!!!?!?" 🤣🤣 What a great adventure. It's awesome to watch you doing the things you do, and managing to do it with Blue, and with a smile on your face. Amazing. Oh, and FYI the "glove loops" on the jacket (and the loop on the back of your neck) are used to attach it to a compatible waterproof shell so when you pull your arms out they stay inside the shell 😉

Wow, what an epic rollercoaster of a ride, I felt almost a sense of shame and guilt watching this unfold from the safety and comfort of my armchair, Blue definitely has a sense of unique doggy telepathy to understand the rules of the mountain and what is required to work as a team, at certain traverses it was almost like Blue was showing you the safest way up the rake. I totally loved this one as we did Jacks rake around 10 years ago and I just could not imagine having the responsibility of a dog at the same time as the scrambling especially as I remember once you start climbing up you cannot change your mind half way up and decide to go down as it becomes a far more perilous challenge, akin to cat / tree theory. The sense of elation when arriving at the top is a feeling I wont forget and we all said we would do it again in a heartbeat. Cap tipped and doffed in your direction for this adventure. Ps, superb drone work,....spectacular.

I think the main thing with a dog (and humans) is to be calm yourself. Luckily it’s my nature to keep calm so Blue feeds off that. He’s obviously well practiced at mountain adventure but also our bond and experience together helps massively. Well done for making it up the Rake. It’s definitely a tough one.

I enjoy all of your videos but this was your best yet. Had my heart racing and hands clammy with genuine concern at times. You are both fearless and I adore Blue, amazing dog. I'll be sticking to safer trails with my pooch though!

Top adventure, that is one to be put on my bucket list. Blue done well, so did you climbing with one hand recording. One of my favourite videos you have done so far. Keep them coming. It was a shame the weather came in but perfect spot for the tent.

Cheers Glenn👊. I enjoyed this adventure and it is definitely one of my favourites. I didn’t record the really tough stuff and should have brought my head mount.

This is a good video, provided a decent insight into Jack's rake. Blue is amazing! I'm glad he has allowed you to be on his show. Very kind of him 😁 look forward to seeing your next. All the best.

@@BUSHMANandBLUE I have been following your videos for many months now. I can't congratulate you enough on how you have trained Blue (even to go left or right), what a lovely and amazing dog. I'm going to the Lakes on 17th July (Monday) for 3 nights B&B at Troutbeck but I have yet to plan my routes. Thanks for all your amazing and inspirational videos that temp even a 75 year old (been involved for last 10 years but no wild camping lol). Thanks again, you're a great guy!

Allen (can't remember if I spelled that right). Watching you drink those beers brings me as much happiness as YOU got from them. I'm exhausted from that scramble with you and Blue. You deserve those beers and the view you'll have in the morning 🌄 😉. "NOW THEN"......well done 👏 ! Thank you !!?? Tom

Blue, bless him, he's a dog n a half! A heart like a horse, in fact he's all heart. When you have made that kind of connection with your dog, his nobility love and loyalty shine through. All dogs are happiest when they have a job, and Blue's self appointed job is to be your companion in every adventure he can share with you. Take care of him boy, he's golden through n through and worth every moment of the time you spend together, and worth every ounce of care and love you can give him. Always find your way home safe and renewed by your days together, good luck n God bless you both.
