Richard Marshall climbed on June 30th, 2021 [from/via/route] Grisedale and Causey [with] Dave Elsie & Rocxy [weather] Sunny warm

Catherine Hill summited on September 29th, 2020 [from/via/route] From Whinlatter pass Revelin Moss car park [with] Alone [weather] Dry,sunny, not too windy - Missed path at the start, walked through forest and up the side of the hill between Grisedale Pike and Hobcarton Crag followed by Hopegill Head and Ladyside Pike. Hopegill Head very tricky going over the top - steep, sloppy rock. Had to climb down.
Claire Murray conquered on September 15th, 2020 [from/via/route] Braithwaite [with] Amy, Timmy and Tazzy [weather] Sunny - Planned on doing the circular but it was far too hot!!!
Nick Christian scaled on September 14th, 2020 [from/via/route] 1st of the day. [with] Karen Brown [weather] Good Sunny

Kevin Foster bagged on March 4th, 2020 [from/via/route] Hobcarton End. [with] Henry. [weather] Cloudy with light snow showers. - This was what turned out to be a fairly easy 500 foot ascent over grass to the summit of Grisedale Pike. I've done this top countless times and the view never ceases to thrill me. Only the second time via Hobcarton End though. I've usually done it from Braithwaite on the classic Coledale Round.
