		Catstycam - "the ridge with a steep track for the wild cat" - is always at its best in winter.
		Indeed, Catstycam, often regarded as a mere shoulder of Helvellyn, has the shapeliest summit and would be one of the finest peaks in Lakeland were it not for the umbilical link of Swirral Edge that destroys its all-round steepness.
		In summer, Catstycam is mostly a grassy outlier usually picked up on a Helvellyn round after the descent of Swirral Edge, but in winter, especially if ascended from the north side, it becomes a mountain.

	Birkhouse Moor and Catstycam
		When we were on Helvellyn with Mike in July, we had taken a lot of interest in Catstycam, as this was one of the only two remaining Top 20 fells we had yet to climb.
		The other was Crinkle Crags, which we climbed on Tuesday, so it seemed appropriate to also climb Catstycam, especially as the weather was beautiful again and there was not much wind about.
		Although we had not heard anybody mention having problems with the fell in windy conditions, it seemed to us to be of a sufficiently similar shape to Grisedale Pike to cause potential problems in a gale.

	Catstycam
		Catstycam apparently means a steep ridge with a wildcat's path.
		Coming down Swirral Edge from Helvellyn it's almost impossible not to be drawn back up again to the summit of Catstycam.
		I remember, on the first occasion I was at the summit, peering over the edge just as the cloud cleared beneath me to reveal the almost vertical, dizzy descent to the valley floor.

		It's unlikely that Birks is ever climbed for its own sake, as it is in reality little more than a minor hump on the NE ridge of St Sunday Crag, and the summit is usually crossed by walkers aiming for the parent fell.
		From almost every direction, Catstycam is easily identifiable, a shapely pyramid rising steeply on all sides.

		Some have got to be left to be climbed another day, and Catstycam is one of those.
		We knew it be would all right as far as going onto Catstycam, but we had to climb Swirral Edge after this summit and this is very steep, abounding with rocks and crags.
		I was disappointed to see that the mist was still there, so I turned away to put my camera back into the rucksack.

	Catstycam
		All the while, I was keeping an eye on the sky and conditions as the wind picked up the higher we went.
		Once at Red Tarn, Chris and Fiona headed of up Swirral Edge and I would summit Catstycam on their return - which turned out to be earlier than expected.
		I ran up to summit Catstycam before the weather closed in as the sky was turning angry and the wind had really got up.

		It was far too windy on the summit to have lunch and the wind shelter was very busy, so we descended straight away onto Swirral Edge.
		From Catstycam we descended to Red Tarn and then followed the main path down the mountain from Birkhouse Moor to Glenridding and a cup of hot chocolate and a slice of cake!

	Helvellyn by the Edges
		But with the sun beginning to set behind the Scafell's, and with Catstycam and the long walk back to Glenridding still ahead we had to leave this wonderful place behind.
		Catstycam summit was right there in front of us, but we were now in shadow and dusk was beginning to fall.
		With the addition of the North East Ridge of Birkhouse Moor, Catstycam, clear views, and a return to the car in darkness, coupled with a good deed, which was reciprocated, it was one of the most enjoyable days on the fell's I have had in a long time.

		Two sharp spurs lead off the summit, Striding Edge and Swirral Edge, either side of Red Tarn.
		The knife-edge Striding Edge provides one of the best-known scrambles in lakeland, while the Swirral Edge ridge leads to the conical summit of Catstycam.
		The western slopes are relatively shallow, and partially forested.

		Catstycam was our next objective so we set off along the line of the wall.
		Normally it has a round appearance as viewed from the summit, but in fact it has a more elongated shape as can be seen here.

		Not content with climbing Helvellyn just the once, we spent that evening devising yet another testing days walk that was to take us over yet more tops.
		Catstycam hides its magnificence beneath the nearby mass of Helvellyn; however it is itself the 10th highest of the Lakeland peaks and provided us with a most perfect beginning to our third day of exploring.
		Later that morning as we climbed the NE ridge of Catstycam we came across their quarry, a member of the team snugly hiding in a recess high on the slopes of the mountain.

		Well from the top the views are magnificent and I have used more film up on top than I can show, but here are some of the views I took last visit (October 1997).
		It always seems to be a pity to leave the top of a fell once you got there but all good things and all that.
		The way down is to follow Swirral Edge a small detour can be made up Catstycam then down to the outflow of Red Tarn.

		This was climbed in conditions of heavy mist and drizzle — it was a pretty miserable experience I seem to remember.
		I took the classic route of Striding Edge, Helvellyn, Catstycam, and returning via Red Tarn.
		This was my fourth attempt at the summit — in the past I had attempted it in winter conditions of ice and snow and always bottled out on Striding Edge (discretion being the better part of valour).

		Behind the tarn the headwall rises 1000 feet in a glorious sweep to the summit of Helvellyn.
		The cwm is bounded by the sharp aretes of Striding and Swirrel Edges and by the sensational cone of Catstycam making this a rugged mountain scene of a grandeur which competes on equal terms with much loftier peaks.
		Leaving the summit cairn in a north westerly direction a loose pile of stones, hardly a cairn at all, marks the descent to Swirrel Edge.

		I left the car at Glenridding car park and took the path on the north side of Glenridding Beck to the youth hostel, and then on towards Catstycam.
		I didn't bother to refer to the map and followed an intermittent path close to the beck, stupidly missing the well-established track higher up.
		The breached dam at the foot of the NW ridge was also an impressive sight, meriting a few photos.

	Helvellyn with a view Cumbria
		I hate walking across the dam but I have to do it just to prove to myself that I can, it is scary and disorienting but a lot easier than the alternatives.
		There are a couple of paths that start to head in the direction of Catstycam but there is only one direction that counts, up and plenty of it.
		There are a couple of eroded channels that could be paths, loose and steep but not presenting any difficulties other than the steepness.
