3 of 5 Parked near Kildale station. From captain monument down to dikes lane and straight across before taking footpath on left that leads to summit. Break at the top and dinner near what looked like a mini inaccessible pinnacle on Skye | The-Z-Man | 12/11/2023 |

Parked on Aireyholme Lane and Followed Gordon Adshead's route (it's a gate not a stile). Straightforward with predictably fine view of Roseberry Topping. On to Roseberry Topping. | Wycombe Wanderer | 16/10/2022 |
EVFC club run from Great Ayton via Roseberry Topping. Ascent from top path in Newton Wood. | paulcook2809 | 29/03/2022 |
Easily parked near the new style at NZ 5784 1147, up the excellent FP to the top. Lovely sunny day, but the final rise up a steep muddy bank was a little hard in crutches | GordonAdshead | 17/11/2021 |

10km loop round from cook's monument cp. Easby Moor, Cliff Rigg, Roseberry Topping and Great Ayton Moor. Pretty much all on paths and busy. But understandably so! | Nicky C | 10/04/2021 |

5.5 mile circular from car park north of Easby Moor, followed field paths and minor roads then across to and through woods onto Cliff Rigg, from there we followed footpath to Roseberry Topping (2nd time bagged, first time in 2004!), then along Cleveland Way towards Great Ayton Moor, approached summit from north following under-used footpath then we headed quite easily across moor to Cleveland Way and back to car park. Afterwards drove to and bagged Gisborough Moor, cloudy with rare sun, plenty of people about. | DanTrig | 20/10/2020 |
An easy diversion from the path up Roseberry Topping. An interesting hill. The quarrying has left a pinnacle just by the high point. This was easily climbed but the holds felt a bit loose. | Alan Moore | 01/09/2020 |

Plenty of parking spots on white road off Dikes Lane (minor road to S) leading to Aireyholme Farm. FP all the way - W along wood edge, N along fence, W along open access boundary | carole engel | 26/12/2018 |
Parked at picnic sire to the WNW before heading straight up the mostly paved path to Roseberry Topping. Great hill and a shame it has to be paved but I accept that it does. Then headed over to Cliff Rigg before a pleasant walk back through the woods. | clivevilla | 10/09/2018 |

Summit about precipitous old quarry workings. Bagged as part of Ayton Moor to Nunthorpe walk. | mrs_ts7 | 27/11/2016 |
Bagged as part of a walk around the area. An interesting old quarry that doesn't take long to get to from Roseberry topping | hillexplorer | 02/11/2016 |
from Great Ayton, with Easby Moor, Great Ayton Moor, and Roseberry (for the 4th time, well why not? it's there) | joseph mitchell | 18/09/2016 |
3 hr lovely evening circular walk with Darren from Great Ayton starting with this top. Climbed a protruding rock tower (a bit loose) -after D did it first, which projects out over the old quarry,joined to summit ridge by a saddle. Shame this is not the main summit! Archaeological dig on way up uncovering remains of James Cook's boyhood home(possibly). | Chris Pearson | 27/07/2016 |
with Jarvis the dog | Cawth | 27/06/2015 |
