From here we descended to Hole in the Wall & then went out to Birkhouse Moor & rather than doubling back to Hole in the Wall to repeat the path back to the carpark we continued beyond the summit along easy to follow paths which led back down to join the return route at NY377158, making a total of 16.4Km [with] With DS [weather] Sunny spells & quite warm at times especially on uphill sections when in lea of the breeze. On the tops the breeze was chilly. - Stunning views in all directions.

Following the old pack horse trail down Patterdale common was great to see how the valley changed from the top at Grisedale Tarn to Braesteads Farm.

A good one to start off on - the others surely can only be easier!!
Andy Buxton bagged it on April 25th, 1992 [from/via/route] From Patterdale. Circular walk: Birks, St.Sunday Crag, Fairfield,Dollywagon Pike, Nethermost Pike,Birkhouse Moor [with] SPI Lewis [weather] Cool, clear day, but windy. - Enjoyable route. Only merit is its another Wainwright knoked off.

Kevin Foster conquered it on October 24th, 2019 [from/via/route] Patterdale [with] By myself. [weather] Blue skies cloud developing later on Striding Edge & Helvellyn. - The route I took was a new approach for me; leaving the 'hole in the wall' track which leads direct to Striding Edge I followed a minor path to the right climbing to the wall running over Birkhouse Moor. A hidden stile negotiated this substantial structure. Good job I didn't bring Henry though. Lugging a 30 Kg Labrador over that would have been hard work. Near the top of the final climb I encountered a couple in their golden years ( he was a sprightly 79) who asked me the way to Striding Edge! They had previously climbed Cat Bells & The Dodd & thought they would have a go on Striding Edge. They quickly changed their minds when I pointed it out & said it was a scramble not a walk. In the end I think they headed for a lunch stop at Red Tarn before descending back down the main path to Glenridding.
Richard Marchant scaled on October 28th, 2010 [from/via/route] From Glenridding up on to Birkhouse Moor to Striding Edge-Helvellyn-Swirl Edge-Catstye Cam down to Red Tarn up to the Hole in the Wall & followed the footpath down in to Grisedale & cut back up to Lanty's Tarn & down to the car in Glenridding.

Nick Dobson climbed it on March 23rd, 2019 [from/via/route] Glenridding via Mires Beck [with] Margaret, & Ralph [weather] bright but chilly day with patches of snow on route, great views of a snow covered Helvelyan. - First Wainwright of 2019, that's 130 done now hopefully a decent year with the weather can see a good reduction in the remaining 84.
