| The Route: |
We will climb from Braithwaite along the Kin Ridge to the wonderful summit of Grisedale Pike with great views over Bassenthwaite, Derwentwater, Keswick and the Solway Coast.
From the summit of Grisedale Pike, Hopegill Head is a short walk away before descending to the wide saddle of Grisedale Hause. Here the path climbs again steeply to the summit of Crag Hill, the highest point of the walk and a wonderful viewpoint over the surrounding fells. There are views to Great Gable and the Scafells as well as a wonderful view over to the Buttermere Fells.
A short walk from Crag Hill brings us down to the summit of Sail and a short descent to Sail Pass. Here we will either descend back to Braithwaite via Barrow or continue along the main ridge a little further to take in the summits of Scar Crags and the craggy summits of Causey Pike before descending back to Braithwaite.
