Old Man
Scafell Pike
Great Gable
Dale Head
Grassmoor
Skiddaw
Blencathra
Helvellyn
High Raise
Fairfield
and High Street.
Not a definitive list just a suggestion.
It could be argued that Pillar should be included in that, but it could be argued to be part of the southern arm of great gable, as argued by wainwright that the High Stile and Pillar ridges are pokes from the centre of a wheel. Plus you'd get more hills climbed.
Hmmmmm....... I'll give this a serious thought when back from holiday. It sounds like a good challenge.
