Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, scaled, summited, hiked & bagged Grasmoor
Paul Roddam walked up Grasmoor on May 30th, 2026 [from/via/route] Crummock Water ish, got the bus from Cockermouth then back from Braithwaite [with] Allan, Barb and Rich Jones [weather] cloudy but mainly dry
Pete George climbed it on August 30th, 2025 [from/via/route] Crummock Water [with] Roco [weather] Chilly on tops & slight rain
James Hughes bagged it on July 12th, 2025 [from/via/route] c196 Grasnoor & Rannerdale Knotts from Lanthwaite Green. [weather] Boi-ling... Got hotter as day progressed. Clear skies with big yellow disc. - Epic day. Started early (8amish). Steep ascent up Whiteside & pleasant ridge walk to Hopegill Head. Familiar descent off Sand Hill due to last walk before stopping & cooling in Liza Beck. Brief ascent to Grasmoor, stunning views both of Whiteside & towards Red Pike range. Direct down & up to Wandope. Impressive drop off. Returned to main path to Whiteless Pike & beginning to feel the heat. Tricky, steep & draining descent over Whiteless Breast for final climb of Rannerdale Knotts. Completely spent at this point & needed to summon all energy to climb & descend Rannerdale Knotts to edge of Crummock water. Hot but easier road walk with break in the shade. Finished with dip in beck near footbridge at start. Pint of Buttermere Beauty Lager at Kirkstile Inn.
