Adrian Howard walked up on February 8th, 2012 [from/via/route] from The Cross of Greet

Christine Shepherd climbed it on July 1st, 2018 [from/via/route] Walked from Cross of Greet Bridge using walk l155 [with] On my own [weather] Glorious sunshine with a welcome breeze. - The final approach to this summit when the path ends is hard work. There are a lot of peat bogs which were dry today but still quite hard to negotiate. The views from the summit are worth the effort though & the onward route is fine.

Mark Davidson bagged it on June 23rd, 2008 [with] Alone [weather] Quite good for the South Pennines

Tony Rogerson hiked it on July 22nd, 2016 [from/via/route] Slaidburn Croasdale White Hill Stocks Reservoir Slaidburn [with] John Ray Luke Floss [weather] Warm & mostly sunny
