Continued on the riverside path from Dalegarth How and ascended from the west.JohnW07/06/2023
Easy up from the Esk to the south, staying out of the fields. No fences to cross and just one tumbledown wall. I'm surprised this isn't Access Land.Alan Moore30/01/2023

Easy from South. Eventually a path opens up going NW and with a bit of a wiggle a way is found to the top. Great viewpointtrimarc204/11/2022

2/16 6:40am start from opposite campsite by 7am already down to shorts and t shirt. Beautiful spring morning with blue skies, no wind and temps to head to 18 degrees. Start of an ambitious 9 hour 16 tump linking on foot around lower Eskdale carrying 2 litre of water and plenty of snacks. Simple ascent and back track to riverside path on grazed grass through the rock and dry dead bracken - all very lovely with mountain views and closer head on view into steeply tumbling Birker Force (Gate Crag ravine) which I plan to climb up alongside shortly.Chris Pearson26/03/2022
From the riverside footpath to the south. Even though this is not Access Land, there is no feeling of trespassing. There are no walls or fences to climb and no private signs on display. There is a permitted path across the field going north and a brief detour through the bracken gets you onto the small summit. Very pleasant. Solo.Dangerous Dave29/09/2021

2/4 Parked Dalegarth Station, down to the Church and along riverside path picking up Doctor Bridge Path. A footpath heads off North over the shoulder of Dalegarth How from which easy access to summit. Back to riverside path same way then along to Hodge How, again a path signed to Eel Tarn takes you onto shoulder of this easy hill. Back down and over Doctor Bridge then turn immediate right continue over cattle grid to find opening into the woods of Crag Coppice and wind up to summit of here. From here we excited bottom SE corner of woods and headed East for two fields then South West over last field to find stile in wall onto open fell to join the footpath rising up using old pony sled mining track (great path). As soon as it levels head due West along the cliffs to arrive at Gate Crag, crossing the Birker Force beck using stepping stones. Then we came largely west, contouring to reach bridleway through Whincop farm and worked round to descend through Stanley Gill Waterfall. A lonickywood113/10/2020
