About
A short, steep climb from Grasmere village to the top of Helm Crag, famous for its distinctive summit rocks. The final scramble to the top is optional but easy enough for most. One of the best half-day walks in the central Lakes.

"The true summit requires a short scramble — most people stop at the Howitzer, but the Lion and Lamb rocks are worth it."
