 On its east and west flanks the fell falls away steeply with rocky slopes and scree to the valleys.To the south the ridge continues from the summit of Glaramara for two kilometres over various tops (some of which are Hewitts or Nuttalls) with little loss of height to the adjoining fell of Allan Crags before descending to Esk Hause.The direct ascent of the fell is usually started from the Borrowdale road midway between Rosthwaite and Seatoller.
