Kevin Foster walked up on May 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Honister Pass (slate mine). [with] By myself. [weather] Low clouds down on tops gradually lifting. - An easy and interesting walk along the crest above Honister Pass led me to the final top of the day, the interestingly named Black Star. The cairn is on a small rocky knoll and the best views are down as the drop is near vertical.

Mark Davidson climbed on October 18th, 2017 [with] S, J & M [weather] Lovely and sunny in the morning - clouded up in the afternoon

Graham Coules bagged on May 18th, 2014 [from/via/route] Grisedale Pike from Whinlatter [with] Dale [weather] Sunny

Ray O'hara hiked on September 14th, 2012 [from/via/route] Buttermere, High Stile Ridge, Haystacks & Fleetwith Pike [weather] Cloudy on the High Stile Ridge, but otherwise clear & dry with great views

Christine Shepherd summited on June 18th, 2010 [from/via/route] Walked from Borrowdale [with] Jenny [weather] Beautiful - Jenny and I were still full of walking after bagging Great Gable and so decided to bag Fleetwith Pike before making the descent to Borrowdale via Honister Hause. Had a more frightening experience of Honister Crag when I did the Via Ferrata on 28.6.09

John Senior has conquered [from/via/route] Honister hawse to Fleetwith Pike [with] Julie Senior [weather] Drizzle and misty
