Clare Tait walked up on August 30th, 2020 [from/via/route] From Mardale Head car park. Across head of reservoir along ridge to HighSt top. Then Mardale lll Bell, Harter Fell and return via Gatesgarth Pass. [with] Charlie [weather] Bright sunshine, however cooler than recent weeks. - Well worth the hours of driving to do this in a day. A good route with beautiful views from the summit of High Street. Lots of friendly walkers out. A good way to bag #52 Wainwright!

Andy Buxton climbed on November 1st, 1990 [from/via/route] Garburn Pass from Kentmere. Yoke, Ill Bell, Froswick, Thornthwaite Crag, Mardale Ill Bell, Harter Fell, Kentmere Pike, Shipman Knotts [with] Solo [weather] Cold, clear autumn day - Very enjoyable circuit of Kentmere.

Angela Moroney bagged during July, 2000 [from/via/route] haweswater [with] JL

Christine Shepherd hiked on February 9th, 2008 [from/via/route] Have used both routes c204 from Stockdale and c276 from mardale Headtwice to reach this summit, and route c251 also from Mardale Head once.

Visited this summit yet again on 16.7.20 using walk 204 from Stockdale.

Andrew Johnson summited on October 29th, 2019 [from/via/route] Kentmere [with] Ted [weather] Sunny

Richard Marchant conquered on January 2nd, 1999 [from/via/route] A day walk with my good friend Ray collins. We met at Mardale Head car park top of Haweswater. The route took us up by Gatesgarth Beck to Gatesgarth Pass, then turned right and followed the route up to Harter Fell. We then carried on to Mardale Ill Bell then on to High Street, Rampsgill Head then to Kidsty Pike and then descended to Haweswater and back round to Mardale Head Car Park. [with] Ray Collins [weather] From what I can remember it was a fine day.

Kevin Foster scaled on April 28th, 2019 [from/via/route] Rough crag via Small water and Nan bield pass. [with] Henry. [weather] Clouds but with sunny breaks and clear visibility. Very warm when the sun was out. - This is a very tough ascent route via Blea water and Small water over rough, boggy and very often path less terrain. In hindsight probably would've been better to have left Rough Crag for a separate day and tackled Harter Fell by the more conventional route from High Street over Mardale Ill Bell.

Elaine Evans walked up on April 8th, 2019 [from/via/route] From Mardale Head, up to High Street via Blea Water, across to Mardale Ill Bell, down to Nan Bield Pass, up to Harter Fell, retraced our steps to Nan Bield then descended via Small Water. [with] Sue and Christine [weather] Dry but low cloud on tops. - Success at second attempt - previously had to turn back due to strong gusts of wind. Visibility restricted due to low cloud, otherwise a very good day. Lunch with a view at shelter at Nan Bield.

Wayne Baxter climbed on April 8th, 2019 [from/via/route] Kentmere Horseshoe, 7 peaks. Yoke, III Bell, Froswick, Mardale II Bell, Harter Bell, Kentmere Pike & Shipman Knotts. [with] Sue [weather] Sunny to start the walk but low cloudy for Mardale peak - What a great walk

Nick Dobson bagged on June 23rd, 2018 [from/via/route] Mardale Head up Riggindale via High Street & Mardale Ill Bell [with] Margaret & Ralph [weather] Bright & sunny - Returned to Mardale Head down Gatesgarth Pass (Killer on the knees)
