Vandring

Kirk Fell is one of Alfred Wainwright's 214 fells of Lakeland. The summit offers brilliant views down Wasdale to Wast Water, but my favourite view from here has to be towards the unmistakable profile of Great Gable.

I've once hiked 'up the nose' of Kirk Fell, a relentless steep walk from the valley at Wasdale Head to the summit at 2,631 feet (802 m). Many people say you should try it just the once, but you'll probably never do it again. You'd probably need a knee replacement if you decided to descend that way!

Vandring

Kirk Fell is a great fell at the end of the Wasdale Valley. If you don't want to do the steep nose of it and want to vary your route up then acending via Black Sail Pass and then going up the Chockstone Gulley to the left of Kirkfell Crags (if you face South) is a great outing. See my route link for more info/photos/gpx track: komoot.com/tour/416618055
Kirk Fell and Kirk Fell East top are both UK designated Nuttalls.

Vandring

Kirk Fell stands at 802m (2631ft) it falls into the following main summit classifications: Wainwright, Nuttall, Hewitt, Birkett, Fellranger, Marilyn. And forms part of the Mosedale Horseshoe route, being the first summit. The ascent is very steep and a tough upwards climb, with many false summits. The path is mainly grass, until the top section, where you encounter scree, rocks and fine stone/grit. This section can be quite slippy and care is required to gain good footing. Make regular stops on the way up, to rest your legs and admire the views down the valley towards Wasdale and Wast Water.
