Overview

A mix of challenging climbs and rewarding ridge walks. Starting at Rigg Beck, we head up to Sleet Hause and the striking Causey Pike, then follow the ridge to Scar Crags, Sail, and Crag Hill. Explore the quieter Addacomb Hole before taking in the views from Knott Rigg. The descent into Keskadale offers a unique and less-travelled route, leading to  Little Town before returning to the starting point.
