Richard Fulcher scaled High Raise (Langdale) on October 2nd, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked in the layby on the A591 opposite a footpath down to Grasmere. Set off through Grasmere & the Easedale Road & then followed the bridle path to Stythwaite Steps, turned left up Stenners Crag & then left up Greathead Crag & on to Tarn Crag.

The descent from Blea Rigg was initially tricky (probably went the wrong way) but became more manageable as we reached Easedale Tarn. The walk from the tarn & back to the car was on well made paths (Lakes style i.e. boulders) & was a slog! [with] Jen [weather] Sunshine & showers, occasional gusts of wind. At times I was hot, freezing cold, battered by wind & then sometimes no wind & just right! - A tiring but rewarding walk.
