| The highest peak in the Coniston fells and probably the most popular. The most common route of ascent is via the ruins of the coppermines below Low Water to the north east. This is known as the tourist route to the summit. Other popular routes take in Brim Fell and Swirl How, or decending down to Goats Hause and then up to the rocky summit of Dow Crag. | ||
