We turned right at the top to reach Hart Crag - visibility down to a few feet & very strong winds. Followed the ridge route via Hartsop Above How back down to the road at Bridgend. Very difficult descent initially down sloping craggy rocks. Took about 7.5 hours ... our usual 1 mile per hour. [with] Jen [weather] Low cloud, strong winds & horizontal rain.
