The only thing is that it's wrong! Three of the tops are to the left of the fence and one to the right. I think the one on the right is the summit.

I'm out of this one now folks.........getting a bit too claggy

Marvin if you go to a 'top' believing it to be so then whether it's that 'cairn' or another 'cairn' 30 metres away, in my book you have in the spirit of the game climbed said top.

I think worrying about 'is this the correct top' given the distance/climbing/time you will going for is not worth worrying about.


Are you feeling strong and confident?

Yours is sound advice and will bear this in mind for my attempt in September. I'm just focussing on best lines off peaks and around stuff at the moment.

Think this might be useful though, from the description of the Cumbrian Traverse;

"note that on Grey Knotts the top is a rocky tor near the fence. On Great End, the two tops have less than 1 metre of height difference so either can be counted; purists will of course visit both" (ref; Gofar.org.uk)

"...purists will of course visit both" (ref; Gofar.org.uk)".
Next w/e I am supporting a Joss Naylor attempt and that is exactly what I will be doing, first the OS summit then the Harvey cairn since they line up conveniently in the right direction. But when doing a BG I usually do the first cairn only.
