"Raise deserves a special cheer."

A.W Wainwright

To the north of Helvellyn the ridge descends over Helvellyn Little Man to the gentle summit of White Side before continuing to the rocky summit of Raise, a fine viewpoint over much of Lakeland.

To the north of Raise the ridge descends to Stake Pass, the track crossing the main ridge from Stannah to Glenridding and an easy path to the high summits. North of the pass the ridge continues over the Dodds, a wide grassy ridge.

The eastern face of Raise is well known to local skiers, having the only ski tow in the Lake District, run by the Lake District Ski Club.

Testimonials

Rating:

Just a quick message to say that the walk was great fun. I was impressed that my guide Rick was able to arrive on time even though the traffic was madness due to a race taking place in the same location. The walk was broken down into easy to manage segments and I felt very confident throughout the walk. I had been nervous about the drop that everyone spoke about. However, I followed the footsteps of the guide with ease. I really enjoyed myself and will be booking Rick for my next walk in the lakes. My dog, Koda enjoyed the walk and then we went to the Keswick Ghost Walk to work up an appetite for our pub dinner. It was a great day out. Many thanks Rick!
