Having climbed Causey Pike, Barrow, OUterside and Scar crags on previous trips to the NW fells, I've always wanted to venture further into the coledale fells. I'm always attracted to the highest fell in each region and Grasmoor became the main objective of the day. I wanted to avoid ridges so my route saw me walking from Keswick to Braithwaite before picking up the foot trail in between Outerside and Grisedale pike to Coledale Hause. From there I would head towards Wandope before branching of to Grasmoor. Unfortunately, I was repelled by strong winds before reaching the summit of Grasmoor and had to fall back to Wandope (not literally!) before descending the Coledale valley to Braithwaite. The undoubted highlight was the views of the southern and western fells from Grasmoor. Wandope photos to follow later.
