    A staggering view wherever you look is your prize for all that climbing, and it's a very generous one indeed.



    The summit is well-served by bridle paths; if you're tackling the mountain on a bike, popular descents include Glenridding, Dollywagon or the incomparable Stick's Pass.



    It can get pretty windy (to say the least) but there is a little shelter/wall thing to huddle behind and eat sandwiches. These will unfortunately have to be brought with you!

      Truly staggering views from the top, especially if fortunate to be there at sunrise. The weather can change in seconds and have found snow at the top at the most unexpected of times. So go prepared for it!

        A must do ride for when your in the lakes.

        Quite a few routes up to the summit but this route up I find the best apart from the hike a bike section up dollywaggon
