Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, scaled, summited, hiked & bagged Sergeant's Crag
Nick Tippins walked up Sergeant's Crag on July 9th, 2026 [from/via/route] c369: High Raise, Ullscarf & Grange Fell from Rosthwaite [with] Fran
Caroline Winter climbed it on June 14th, 2026 [from/via/route] Stonethwaite, Green up beck, Eagle Crag, Sergents Crag, Ling Crag, Greenup beck [with] Solo [weather] Clear, sunny day with no wind - After much rain & high gale force winds over last month, took advantage of good spell & enjoyed a great scramble up Eagles Crag. Fantastic views from Sergents Crag across Rosthwaite & across all the big one to crinkle crags. Just spotted Scafell pike poking up after Ill crag on route down. Treated myself to a plum & damson ice cream at the shop in Stonethwaite.
James Hughes bagged it on April 18th, 2025 [from/via/route] c369 Eagle Crag & Sergeant's Fell descent via Greenup Gill [weather] Some cloud, showers & increasingly blustery on tops - Ascent up Eagle Crag then onto Sergeant's Crag before deciding to drop down to Greenup Gill path across the gently sloping Fells. Pint at Langstrath.
Ian Ashton hiked Sergeant's Crag on January 4th, 2025 [with] JPH and Ella
Richard Fulcher summited on June 24th, 2024 [from/via/route] Parked next to the red telephone box in Stonethwaite (7:50am). Crossed the bridge & turned right following Stonethwaite Beck. Crossed river at Smithmire Island & followed the path on the other side of Greenup Gill to second pasture, turning right to follow the wall steeply up to Bleak How following Wainwright's route 'A'. Some climbing / scrambling required but nothing out of the ordinary for a 66 year old! After Eagle Crag I followed vague paths over the boggy terrain to Sergeant's Crag & then headed for Long Crag, finding a small path that traces the top of this crag & then crosses the bridleway that joins up with Grasmere? Followed an intermittent path up to Ullscarf that follows an old fence line ( only the iron posts remain). After Ullscarf I retraced my steps back to the bridleway turning right to follow this path down the valley & back to Stonethwaite. [weather] Started warm & cloudy but as the day wore on the clouds disappeared & the sun was fierce! - Great views of many Lakeland mountain ranges from Ullscarf. The heat made the descent very taxing. The route down is rocky with many opportunities to break your ankle.
