Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Cold Pike

Christine Shepherd walked up on April 16th, 2009 [from/via/route] Walked from Great Langdale using walk c279 Climbed again on 6.9.21 [with] My friend Jenny [weather] Bright and windy. - The path to this summit is rather indistinct as most people head straight for Crinkle Crags after Pike o'Blisco. On my second ascent I headed up on the Crinkle Crags Path and just before a large cairn followed a clear path on the left to the summit.

Kevin Foster climbed on July 30th, 2021 [from/via/route] The Old Dungeon Ghyll National Trust car park. [with] By myself. [weather] Light rain, cloud base down, very limited visibility. - The next three tops along the Cold Pike ridge were a bit tricky to locate in mist. But by referring to my phone apps, my OS map and my Nuttalls guide book I was able to confidently bag them all. As Sod's Law dictates, as I returned to the top of the Browney Gill paved path for my long descent back down into Oxendale, the clouds began slowly lifting so that most of Pike o' Blisco was now visible (just the summit itself was still in mist). At least I'm coming back here to do the Crinkles and I'll make sure I pick a better day for it!

Christina Lander bagged on June 1st, 2021 [from/via/route] Three Shires Stone - Cold Pike - Three Shires Stone [with] Dick [weather] A beautiful sunny day - First day of our holiday staying at Station House, Troutbeck, Penrith

Clare Tait summited on September 27th, 2020 [from/via/route] Parked near the Three Shires Stones. Couldn't see how to do it in a mile though as the sign post indicated. Ended up missing the pass across the red moss and going way around from the beginning of Crinkle Crags. But it was a perfect walking day with stunning views. [with] Charlie [weather] Sunshine. - No 57 Wainwright!

Sarah Hamer conquered on September 1st, 2020 [from/via/route] Started out with blue skies and a spring in my step - more rock climbing than the guide would give you an indication of - bagged with Crinkle Crags and Cold Pike [with] Chris Hamer [weather] Started off sunny and 15 degrees - wind at the top which is to be expected but not enough to be an issue - The views from Crinkle Crags were just SPECTACULAR - seeing where we had been and where we were to go. To the coastline and the Isle of Man with views to Windermere.
