Summit cairn of Allen Crags

'This quiet attractive top is a pleasant refuge from the busy thoroughfares converging on Esk Hause, only five minutes away' AW Allen Crags 5

Black Fell summit

The highest point is a small outcrop with the ambitious name of Black Crag, and is given further distinction by the erection thereon of a triangulation column of the standard pattern to which has been affixed the extra adornment of the familiar metal symbol of the National Trust ... AW Black Fell 3

Bowfell from Crinkle Crags (descending to Three Tarns)

'As much as any other mountain, the noble Bowfell may be regarded as affording an entirely typical Lakeland climb, with easy walking over grass giving place to rough scrambling on scree, and a summit deserving of detailed exploration and rewarding visitors with beautiful views.' AW Bowfell 2

Cold Pike from Pike o' Blisco

'Although not of great significance, Cold Pike is prominent when seen from the north and east, and it has lovely views in those directions. ... Cold Pike is a Crinkle Crags in miniature.' AW Cold Pike 1

Crinkle Crags from Pike o' Blisco

'Crinkle Crags is much too good to be missed.  For the mountaineer who prefers his mountains rough, who likes to see steep craggy slopes towering before him into the sky, ... this is a climb deserving of high priority.' AW Crinkle Crags 2

Pike o' Blisco from Old Dungeon Ghyll

'This peak has great character, for shapeliness and a sturdy strength combine well in its appearance, and that splendid cairn etched against the sky is at once an invitation and a challenge ...' AW Pike o' Blisco 2
