Bagged after the scramble on the SW side | David Bell | 07/06/2022 |
Just off the Corridor Route, well worth the small amount of effort needed as it shows another side to the Sca Fell Pike range which is missed by the passing hordes | trimarc2 | 12/05/2022 |

From Wasdale up Moses' Trod Path to Sty Head. Over the Corridor Route (thanks Dave for the help on the tricky downhill bad step). Up Round How, quite a steep grassy bank. Onto Middleboot Knotts then over Piers Gill and up Lingmell. Back to Wasdale via SW shoulder which is really steep in places. Windy but sunny all day. | Glenelg | 12/05/2016 |
Walked from Wasdale Head on my own. Eerie by the time I got to this fell. I had been above the cloud in sunshine on Scafell Pike and Great End but as I left the crowds to bag this fell the sun went in and the mist was swirling round so this fell kept coming and going from view as I approached it. It feels strange leaving the crowds to go on a very faint path down some scree before climbing this fell but it isn't long before you drop down to the corridor route near Pier's Gill and join a good path again. | flockwatcher | 03/10/2015 |
Returning from Lingmell, another one not done before. | Aye Jimmy | 23/08/2015 |

From Gt Langdale campsite, with Penda. 12.5 miles, 7 hrs 45 mins. Via Esk Hause. On to Middleboot Knotts. Sunny day with plenty of snow about, hundreds of people on main tracks to The Pike (Easter Saturday) but not a soul over the back. Long day but great fun! | beorwulf | 04/04/2015 |
Second top of a 10 hour sweltering day! 
Started up Styhead to Looking Steads on Glaramara, then contoured back to Round How,which I definitely hadn't done before. Finished by scrambling up to Broad Crag & Scafell Pike, then Lord's Rake to Symonds Knott. Just Pillar Rock to finish the Nuttalls now. | signyred | 26/07/2014 |

Finally brought up the courage to bag this non-descript prominence after all these years ;-) Let's just say it wasn't in my top 10 best bags. | Jhimmy | 12/08/2012 |
Another one that is probably seldom visited except by true baggers. Needless to say I was the only one up here. Made a change from later in the day on top of Scafell Pike! | Father Ted | 26/05/2012 |
