Fellow go4awalkers who have already walked, climbed, summited & bagged Kirk Fell (East Top)

Christine Shepherd walked up on July 4th, 2007 [from/via/route] Used walk c151 from Honister Climbed again on 23.08.2021 from Wasdale, the first fell in a long day's walking using walk c240. Added Yewbarrow to the end of the route from Dore Head. [with] On my own [weather] Hot - I was surprised how long the top of Kirk Fell was walking from one end to the other. On my second visit on 23.08.

Kevin Foster climbed on May 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Honister Pass (slate mine). [with] By myself. [weather] Low clouds down on tops gradually lifting. - I remember climbing Kirk Fell many years ago from Ennerdale in thick mist thinking it was Great Gable. Imagine my disappointment when I found out it wasn't & I still had Gable to climb. Thankfully my map reading skills have improved since then. Anyway the clouds had completely lifted off Kirk Fell today so navigation was easy even if the climbing wasn't.

Caroline Winter bagged on August 2nd, 2020 [from/via/route] Wasdale Head, Kirkfell, East Top, Kirkfell crags, Mosedale Beck [with] Becky [weather] Rain morning, clearing later - Direct route up steep south side. 2 groups of Bob Graham challengers passed us. I found the steepness quite a struggle. Lunch in shelter at top before finding the sister top by descending to the tarn. Intended to include Pillar, but decided to add on to our Yewbarrow walk in a few days time. Pleasant descent of Mosedale beck & an early steak dinner at the Inn.
