Sun10Jul16 High Stile Mountain Range Alfred Wainwright said this about the
route:- This is superb architecture. No mountain
range in Lakeland is more dramatically impressive than this, no other more
spectacularly sculptured, no other more worth climbing and exploring. Here
the scenery assumes truly Alpine characteristics, yet without sacrifice of
the intimate charms, the romantic atmosphere, found in Lakeland and nowhere
else. Three summits rise from this ridge, a trinity of challenging peaks:- 1) Red Pike 755m 2) High Stile 807m 3) High Crag 744m Time permitting I would also like to visit
Haystacks 597m where Alfred Wainright’s ashes are scattered. The ridge is mostly easy going, steep and
rough in a few places but nothing too difficult, and very popular with
ramblers. Sleeping over is highly recommended due to
the remote location. See the diary for the Ennerdale weekend accommodation.
If you are coming just for the day then please let the walk leader know well
in advance due to the limited car parking and poor phone signals. Distance: 8.0 Miles Walk grade: Hard Start:
