"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.

Rating:

As a novice we recently undertook the beginners navigation course. We had a good day learning how to use a compass, map reading and make use of the sights around us. It was a fun and mentally challenging day as i struggle with differentiating my left from my right! Paul, our guide was incredibly patient with me as I seem to have my own particular logic in understanding the natural landscape and points of a compass! I would recommend this to anyone who wants to feel more confident when out for a walk or thinking of going on the fells. We put our new found skills into use throughout the rest of the week in the Lakes and we didn't get lost once!
