1st time logged but certainly climbed before due to nice little scrambleconanharrod09/05/2021
With Sarah Evans, sunny day turning cloudy as day progressed, snow on high peaks including a dusting on Haystacks. Parked at Gatesgarth Farm, ascended via Scarth Gap Pass, onto summit, via tarns, along to just below Dubs Quarry, to descend alongside Warnscale Beck/ waterfall and into Warnscale Bottom using old mine path. Very cold and windy on the top, with definite wind chill factor, however stunning views. Haystacks is essentially a big chunk of rock with no defined summit, due to its rocky, craggy nature. I'm not sure I understand its appeal and I wont be rushing to do it again. However maybe a second explore on a warmer day may change my mind.Ruth Mackay27/03/2021
With Alfie. Only my second time up here!Dangerous Dave05/12/2020

Solo fr Honister. Dry, mild, strong NW wind, mostly overcast but some brightness. Trying to run but not much of today was runnable, esp with stiff legs after yesterday's first hill for a year. This section (fr Fleetwith Pike to Haystacks) was quite tricky in terms of route-finding, took time.NorfolkPT2110/07/2020
