Esk Pike, Bowfell and Crinkle Crags from Cockley Beck Bridge. First ascent of Esk Pike from the upper Duddon Valley for me and the desolate but romantic head of Eskdale - splendid scenery. The route visited many not previously climbed Birketts and Synges. 20 summits topped during the day, order of ascent: Painet Knott, Throstlehow Crag, Scar Lathing, High Gait Crags, Yeatyrigg Crags, Pike de Bield, Esk Pike, Bowfell North Top, Bowfell, Shelter Crags N Top, Shelter Crags, Gunson Knott, 4th Crinkle, 3rd Crinkle, Crinkle Crags, Crinkle Crags South Top, Great Knott, Cold Pike Far West Top, Cold Pike West Top, Cold Pike. 23km with 1400m of ascent, taking 8h 40m.silveracorn_alan20/09/2022
From Wha House for a round of Silverybield Crag, High Scarth, Pen, Pike de Bield, High Gait Crags, Scar Lathing and Throstlehow Crag.rhalstead23/07/2021
Followed Birkett's route from top of Hard Knott Pass over Border End, Hard Knott and Yew Bank. Crossed Lincove Beck and did Throstlehow Crag and Scar Lathing (hard work). Crossed Esk without difficulty owing to long dry spell and finished with the long, dreary and pathless ascent of High Scarth and shorter ascent of Silverybield. Easy walk down Eskdale path but had to climb Hard Knott Pass via the road to retrieve vehicle - what an end!BURGESS14/06/2021

From Cam Spout Crag. Made a rising traverse from Cam Spout Crag summit to get back onto the main ridge and made a careful descent, only coming to a sheer drop once and fortunately not dropping off it. Slightly worried about the time now - about 15:00 - and forgotten my torch. Reinforced by a couple of Tunnocks Caramel Wafers, headed down footpath as fast as possible but was tricker than expected on rock slaps. Great Moss nowhere near as bad as feared though. On to High Gait Crags.Wycombe Wanderer03/12/2019

High Scarth to Cam Spout Crag and on to Pen a bit tricky in places, otherwise all ok. Section 34B All Hills completion on Throstlehow Crags.jonglew19/11/2019
