Caroline Winter hiked on June 3rd, 2021 [from/via/route] Mardale head CP, Riggindale edge, Rough Crag, The Knott, Rest Dodd, Rampsgill Head, High Raise, Riggindale edge [with] Becky [weather] Cloudy and warm, with dense fog in afternoon - To the outlier Rest Dodd and back, before taking a short cut to Rampsgill head from The Knott, but fog rapidly descended and needed to find Rampsgill Head by gps. Eventually, found High Raise with assistance from man familiar with area, but visibility so poor that unable to find route to Kirsty Pike, so needed to back track down Riggindale.

Richard Marshall summited on May 26th, 2021 [from/via/route] RM super route from Martindale 19 miles 6300ft ascent [with] Roxy & Bo [weather] Showers,fog, sun and very wet underfoot

Chris Sheard conquered on August 10th, 2020 [from/via/route] Up from Hartsop carpark [with] Jamie [weather] Quite warm start with light winds cleared for a glorious afternoon - Steep initial ascent and worth it for socialising with folks on CtC - Much water needed

Adrian Howard scaled on September 28th, 2017 [from/via/route] Cow Bridge Car park

Andrew Johnson walked up on November 19th, 2019 [from/via/route] Hartsop [weather] Beautiful day, clear skies.

Wayne Baxter climbed on May 12th, 2019 [from/via/route] Patterdale to Shap on the coast to coast walk [with] Sue, Wendy & Trevor [weather] Sunny

Kevin Foster bagged on May 17th, 2019 [from/via/route] Place Fell via Boredale Hause and Angletarn Pikes [with] Henry. [weather] Sunny and hot to begin with becoming cloudier later on with a fresh northerly breeze. - The approach from Boredale Hause via Angletarn Pikes is quite interesting with great views along the way of Brothers Water, Kirkstone Pass and Hayeswater. Rest Dodd's remote position at the head of Martindale makes it one for the 'baggers'. The top is marked with a small cairn of stones but the flagpole mentioned in the wainwright books is sadly no longer there.
