Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Codale Head
Kevin Foster walked up Codale Head on June 8th, 2020 [from/via/route] Grasmere walk c428 [with] By myself. [weather] Cloudy but summits clear. - Bit of a strange one this because ascending Codale Head from the east along the Tarn Crag ridge has the feel of a proper mountain climb. But the descent off High Raise with barely any climbing to reach the tiny summit rocks of Codale Head felt like a bit of a cheat? Why is Sergeant Man (close by) not included as a Nuttall summit? It was probably the best top visited by me that day on this walk. It's a strange business this peak bagging malarkey!
