JACK’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.

Does Bluey ever show any signs of fear or doubt? He seems so confident, but I think that's because he trusts you. This is incredible to watch.

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 walked down Stickle Ghyll - after coming up from Easedale Tarn - whilst Mountain Rescue was running up with all their kit and a chopper hovering up above..... . No I would definitely never scramble up Jack's Rake. Vertigo kicked in again pulling at my feet just watching. What an amazing video from start to finish! Thank You for sharing.

Amazing video mate! Great to see Blue putting his trust in you to help him when he’s stuck! Reminds me of when I did Tryfan via the north ridge with my two - slow and steady, picking the route & having to lift them up in places to assist! Love seeing other mountain dogs out living their best life’s 👍🏼

I remember doing that route around the time I was 30. We (3 of us) followed a big group up, and ended up leap frogging them at certain sections where it was do-able. A truly magnificent place.

I’d suggest the Ruffwear Doubleback Harness! I’ve used it with my dog in the past on scrambles and climbing! Always nice to have a backup for redundancy, and you can never be too safe! Cheers to another great video to both of y’all and congratulations!

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.
