You can recognise the Stiperstones ridge by the jagged tors at its southern end. Nearly 500 million years ago, the ridge would have risen out above glaciers and the constant freezing and thawing shattered those rocky tors and formed screes. At 1,759 feet (536 m) high, you're rewarded with spectacular views from the summit and along the 5-mile (8 km) ridge.

Proper little mini shark fin ridge this is. The trig point is in a glorious setting sat right on top of a rocky little pinnacle that is nice little scramble. The whole ridge is interesting with its little rocky fins strutting out into the sky. It is also a UK designated Marilyn at 536m high. Lovely summer day out!

This is a surprisingly steep ascent. Once you commit to the climb, there's no turning back — it's inwards and upwards to the top. Be careful as you go. You need to be very sure footed to attempt this ascent. Good luck.
