Kevin Foster summited on January 27th, 2019 [from/via/route] Killhope Cross road summit. [with] Henry. [weather] Clear conditions, frozen ground with a light covering of snow. - Tough moorland walking with sketchy or nonexistent paths. One for the Peak baggers definitely. Nice distance views from the summit which has a large pile of stones, trig point but sadly the tall wooden pole has snapped off & fallen down.
