Kevin Foster walked up Round How (Scafell) on May 19th, 2022 [from/via/route] National Trust car park, Brackenclose, Wasdale Head. [with] By myself. [weather] Early cloud on Scafells lifting by midday then sunny. - Another easy one to reach from the corridor route but I'm guessing the prominent cairn on this craggy top is rarely visited by the masses. I felt privileged to have the top to myself on such a sunny day with all the activity around me.
Mark Davidson has climbed Round How (Scafell) [with] Theresa [weather] Good as far as I can remember - Can't remember the date but would have been the late 1990's
Christine Shepherd bagged Round How (Scafell) on October 3rd, 2015 [from/via/route] Walked from Wasdale Head using some of route c271. [with] On my own [weather] Eerie by the time I got to this fell. I had been above the cloud in sunshine on Scafell Pike & Great End but as I left the crowds to bag this fell the sun went in & the mist was swirling round so this fell kept coming & going from view as I approached it. - It feels strange leaving the crowds to go on a very faint path down some scree before climbing this fell but it isn't long before you drop down to the corridor route near Pier's Gill & join a good path again.
