solo walk with Jess. Good visibility. | jonsutterby71 | 24/03/2024 |
After doing Rossett Pike, travelled round to Grasmere to climb Seat Sandal from Dunmail Raise. Up the steep shoulder, and back down the path by Raise Beck. Snow above 550m. Only 4 Wainwrights left to complete my fourth round. This short hike of 5km with 500m ascent took me 2 hours. | silverwolf_alan | 23/02/2024 |

Dawn done on her own. Winter conditions - snow on tops and severe wind-chill but excellent visibility. Parked in layby on A591 (Mill Bridge). Walked up to the left of Great Tongue, above Hause Riggs around Gavel and onto summit. Return via cairn to west of summit cairn and then down nose - there is no footpath marked on map but it is obvious on the ground. First attempt to summit Seat Sandal was on 17th January but got 3/4 way up and abandoned as weather closed in and visibility was very poor. | River-Girl | 19/01/2023 |

From Traveller's Rest via Tongue Gill valley (Great Rigg side), summit ascent from Grisedale Hause (3 points of contact at times). Plenty of powder on top, enough to make snowman with 7yo daughter. Descent down the southern flanks towards High Broadrayne. Outstanding views on a clear day, arguably the best summit views of the fells around Grasmere. | forsterfamily7 | 25/02/2022 |
