Harrison Stickle

A short steep ascent with JPS.

Route: From the National Trust carpark, the path out and trending left to rise to a low spur and then right along that past a bench to a style. Not crossing the Dungeon Ghyll but ascending on a discreet pitched path up and round Pike Howe and then to the right of the gorge to climb behind Harrison Stickle and thence to the summit. Descending on the path below Loft Crag.

Conditions: Cloudy and a cold breeze.

Pub: the Stickle Barn for Coniston Bluebird.
