A tough excursion into the Lake District mountains above Ennerdale in the Western Lakes. A tough ascent to Steeple followed by a superb ridge walk over Haycock, Caw Fell and Iron Crag on route. Some clear paths and some unpathed fells that require good navigation skills especially in low cloud. The scenery is stunning, the hills are spectacular and the level of solitude ranks among the best in the Lake District National Park.
