At 2,697 feet (822 m), Hart Crag is the second highest summit on the Fairfield Horseshoe, behind Fairfield itself. Rarely ascended in isolation, it is easily linked with its parent peak, as well as Dove Crag to the southeast.

Hart Crag throws a ridge out northeast towards Brothers Water. This long arm contains the Wainwright summit of Hartsop Above How, which can be ascended from the village of Hartsop.

At this point of the Fairfield Horseshoe, you can at least say I've done half of it!

A great little scramble between Hart Crag and Hartsop Above How. I much prefer going up than coming down though (as with most mountains to be honest)!
