Hiking

Cold Pike is a 2,300-foot (701 m) Wainwright in the Southern Fells. Hiking to Cold Pike from Crinkle Crags requires a bit of bog hopping over wet ground, unless you hike the route in a heat wave. I particularly like the views to Crinkle Crags and Pike Of Blisco. From here, you can choose to connect to the Coniston fells over Wrynose Pass via Great Carrs or head for Crinkle Crags or Pike Of Blisco. Excellent choices all around!

Hiking

Although marked on the comoot map, the path to the pike is barely visible. From here one has e.g. the view back to the Crinkle Cracks or Windermere Lake, even the sea can be seen from up here.
