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 Dan | 24/03/2022 |

From Silver How. Solo. | Dangerous Dave | 20/09/2021 |
Came up from Chapel Stile via Harry's Place (as per Wainwright's Central Fells) and eventually found my way to this, my first 'summit' of the say. Went on to do Swinescar Pike & Swinescar Pike NW Top & Castle How (Raw Pike) before the main target on the ridge Blea Rigg. | signyred | 12/09/2021 |

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. | Fionalevey | 02/01/2021 |
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_alan | 07/12/2020 |

From Little Langdale Pass, Oakhowe Crag, Harry Place, Silver How, Lang How, Swinescar Pike, Little Castle Howe, Castle Howe, Great Castle Howe, Whitegill Crag, Stickle Tarn, Pike Howe. Descent of N ridge of Oakhowe Crag not recommended - unavoidable band of snail pace FIGHT through a jungle of Juniper. | Isbjorn | 02/10/2020 |
