Im sure we've been here before but made a conscious decision to wander to the top today. Nice track between north and south summits. Just a short walk today from Grasmere to Silver How and over to here. Warm and sunny and short sleeves today and it's still just March.Walker Dan24/03/2022

The ‘main’ footpath was horrendous being a joyous mix of sheet ice, bog, bracken and absurd ascending and defending. Coffee definitely needed at the bottom as it was -2. With a reluctant GFE.Fionalevey02/01/2021
A wonderful walk along the interesting ridge between Grasmere and Great Langdale, locating the many Synges between Red Bank and Blea Rigg from High Close (NY 336 052), just space for a couple of cars – if you are early! Summits visited included Silver How, Lang How, Swinescar Pike, Little Castle How, Great Castle How, Castle How (Raw Pike), Blea Rigg and Whitegill Crag. A splendid day with snow patches and classic views of the major Lakeland peaks clad in snow! 15.6km with 800m ascent in 5h30m. (S)silveracorn_alan07/12/2020
