Kate Peacock climbed Whiteside (Crummock) on August 28th, 2022 [from/via/route] Car park on Whinlatter bank [with] Me & Sheila [weather] No breeze at all. Humid all day. Hotter on the morning, rain toward the end which I was glad about but it didn't really cool down - Couldn't really enjoy a lot of the tops because of flying ants.
Richard Fulcher bagged Whiteside (Crummock) on August 27th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked in a little space before the second gate on the old road joined to Whinlatter Pass. We set off through the bracken opposite the entrance to High Swinside farm & trudged up to meet a wall (gathering ticks along the way). Slogged up the steep grassy slope to Ladyside Pike & then onwards to Hopegill Head - looks intimidating but isn't bad in ascent. From there we traversed along the ridge to Whiteside, descending from the east top down a steep (in places) path to Dodd Pass & then back to the car. [with] Jen [weather] Low cloud covered the high ground until we reached the 'Head' providing atmospheric photography possibilities! The day then became warm with blue skies & puffy clouds, providing good visibility for the outstanding views. - A strenuous but enjoyable walk taking us about 7.5 hours - slow, because we take a lot of photos & generally faff about!

Richard Marchant conquered Whiteside (Crummock) on June 16th, 2022 [from/via/route] Early start from Lanthwaite Green Farm north up Whin Ben & then on to Whiteside. From here it was just a case of following the narrow ridge around to Hopegill Head down Sand Hill to Coledale Hause. From here I headed South to the top of Wandope Moss then headed West up on to the summit of Grasmoor. I then back tracked to Wandope & proceeded South along Whiteless Edge on to Whiteless Pike. Continued South to Whiteless Breast before eventually turning West & climbing the ridge to Rannerdale Knotts. From here I dropped down to the B5289 & followed the road back to my car. [with] On my Own [weather] Clear hot sunny day with little or no breeze.
