A giant descent - on a kilometer 360 Hm.Vorrectly descend, because it is very steep and a wrong kick would be fatal. Before the descent, make sure to pause again and let your eyes wander!

There is no easy way up his fell as it's quite steep on all sides (although not technical, just a bit of a calf burner!) Following the small zig zags up the north ridge is my preferred ascent, stopping frequently to admire the view down to Brothers Water and Ullswater.
