Is whernside easy to climb?
Nice walk, couple of steep bits but path is well maintained so easy enough in dry weather. Views nice and clear on the summit. Pretty steep on the way down if you’re walking the standard anticlockwise route so tough on the knees. Might be easier to go clockwise if you have bad ones.
