Grisedale Pike

"Last day of our stay in Keswick. A bright but cold day with some cloud on the summits as the day progressed. We went back to a favourite peak, Grisedale Pike. We set off from Whinlatter pass, steadily up through the forest for over a mile, then out onto the open hillside near the memorial seat. We climbed steeply onto Sleet How, then up the East ridge to the summit. After a brief stop, we continued down the SW ridge, above Hobcarton Crag and up to Hopegill Head.We returned by the same route." — davidlong • Oct 27, 2017

"Circular walk from Newlands Valley near Keswick, went up Causey Pike first, then along Scar Crags ridge and up steeply to Sail. Along and up again to Crag Hill, the highest point on the walk. Then drop down to Coledale Hause before climbing to the final summit of the day Grisedale Pike, descend to Braithwaite village, walk through the village and out via Braithwaite Lodge Farm, climb over the low hillside and drop back into Newlands Valley, to return to start point. A bright sunny summers day walk" — davidlong • Aug 27, 2014

"A bright day with increasing cloud as the day progressed. We went back to a favourite peak, Grisedale Pike. We set off from Masmill on Whinlatter pass, steadily up through the forest for over a mile, then out onto the open hillside at the memorial seat. After a short break, we climbed steeply onto Sleet How, then up the East ridge to the summit. Here some clouds rolled in. As we didn't have that much time, we resisited the temptation to carry on the ridge to other peaks and dropped down the NE ridge and back to Revelin Moss and along the road for half a mile to our start point." — davidlong • Sep 15, 2012

"A cold, but sunny late winter's day. From Whinlatter visitor centre we went up the woodland path, that comes out into open fellside by the memorial seat. Here we admire the fine views, before going up steeply onto Sleet How ridge, which leads up to the east ridge of Grisedale Pike, where there is a dusting of snow lying. We ascend the east ridge to the summit, where there are good views all around. We then descend over a subsidiary summit, to a col and then up by Hobcarton Crags to the Summit of Hopegill Head, then along to the subsidiary summit of Sand Hill. WE return by dropping back to the col and back over Grisedale Pike." — davidlong • Feb 16, 2011
