Christine Shepherd walked up Fleetwith Pike on June 18th, 2010 [from/via/route] Climbed this as an extra after doing Great Gable Climbed this again 18.12.2021, to complete my second round of the Wainwright's. I used Fleetwith Edge straight up & down; superb! Finally visited the Warnscale Bothy when I climbed this with Louise on 10.6.22. [with] Jenny [weather] Glorious sunshine - Had got very close to the summit the year before when I did the Via Ferrata at Honister but they wouldn't let us visit the actual summit.

Paul Macey climbed Fleetwith Pike on June 6th, 2022 [from/via/route] C295 [with] Luke [weather] High Level cloud

Andrew Cotter bagged Fleetwith Pike on February 1st, 2019 [from/via/route] Car park [weather] Snow & wind

Mark Smith hiked Fleetwith Pike on May 5th, 2009 [from/via/route] Buttermere [weather] hot & sunny

Richard Marchant summited Fleetwith Pike on August 26th, 2021 [from/via/route] Started from Gatesgarth car park & then walked along the East shore of Buttermere up to Haystacks. Then traversed across to Fleetwith Pike & descended Westward off Fleetwith Pike back down to Gatesgarth Carpark. Just a quick morning's walk but in sublime weather with fantastic view 360 degrees from both peaks [with] Just myself [weather] Dry & fine weather. - Simply awesome morning out

Richard Fulcher conquered Fleetwith Pike on July 10th, 2021 [from/via/route] Walked up from the NT car park at Honister Slate mine via the Bothy (which bothy?) to photograph the late evening light kissing the fells. Didn't quite work out that way as the heavens opened about 7pm & I got soaked to the skin. Had to hurriedly retreat back to the car. [weather] Sun, cloud, low cloud & then torrential rain!

Ian Cox scaled Fleetwith Pike on July 9th, 2021 [from/via/route] Gatesgarth via Hay Stacks [with] Nicola Cox [weather] Bright but cloudy, with some low cloud, but stayed just above us

Kevin Foster climbed Fleetwith Pike on May 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Honister Pass (slate mine). [with] By myself. [weather] Low clouds down on tops gradually lifting. - Not the most obvious route to bag this mountain. A tough descent from Kirk Fell into Ennerdale & then back out again via the path alongside Loft Beck followed by a detour round Haystacks before climbing on a diagonal path from Dubs Quarry to the summit cairn of Fleetwith Pike. Great views down Buttermere made it all worth while though.

John Hanlon bagged Fleetwith Pike on September 16th, 2020 [from/via/route] Hotel- Borrowdale Gates, started from Gatesgarth carpark Buttermere [with] Gail, followed easy day walk [weather] Sunny - 2 Wainwrights walk, Haystacks & Fleetwith Pike
