The overview
One of the region’s most approachable High Peaks with a memorable summit.
The exposed summit rewards hikers with a broad panorama across the High Peaks.
Bring water, sturdy footwear, and always check trail conditions before setting out.
The trail climbs steadily through hardwood forest before breaking out onto open rock for the last stretch. It’s a popular first High Peak, so expect company on weekends. Start early, take your time on the final scramble, and plan to linger at the top.
