Sumo Man (Andy Holden aka Wharfeego).
Footage captured at Barbondale fell race (a Kendal Winter League race). This video doesn’t give any justice whatsoever to the steepness of the hill. It makes the footage look almost flat by comparison. This was a truly Herculean feat by Sumo Man.
Andy is a former winner of the Barbondale fell race. His descending skills are shown here in all their glory.
All hail Sumo.

Cheers DT. Andy is quicker descending in his suit than I am without.
How good is that! He’s a fit lad and look at ‘im go on the descent. Quality Mark. Will he run up a mountain with us?
With or without the Sumo suit? Either or he probably would.
A Blade runner and a man in a sumo suit on Striding Edge … awesome!
