A repeat of the Mosedale Horseshoe from the NT Car Park. Visiting Looking Stead, Pillar, Black Crag, Scoat Fell (all 3 summits), Steeple, Red Pike (Wasdale), Black Crag, and Yewbarrow (both summits) which is proving an increasing challenge for me at the end of a big day. A glorious day in the Lakes, with extensive views across the whole LDNP. 20km with 1330m ascent in 8h 30m.silverwolf_alan24/08/2023

Mosedale Horseshoe from Wasdale Head. The direct route up to Dore Head with a false start towards Stirrup Crag which we retreated from when we could not easily find the route. Down from Kirk Fell by the direct route.Nab Scar29/09/2021

Killer hill. A very difficult ascent via Stirrup Crag is almost vertical in places. The steep drop to Wasdale via Bell Rib was also challenging, as was the 2 mile walk back to Wasdale Headphilip_firth19/07/2021

We parked at the national trust car park and rpad walked tp the start of the walk at Overbeck Bridge. We took the patg leadimg up Dropping Crag which went all the way to Dore Head. We had a wet scramble up Stirrup Crag. Care needed on this route and we walked over to the summit. We descended via Bull Crag and Great Door. Some rocky scrambling and rocky paths on the route.
