Top day out. Start from Patterdale and track up the Grizedale valley. Follow the Elmhow zig zags to the bottom of Pinnacle ridge, then enjoy the exposure! A rope and some climbing gear are advised for the diff climb in the middle. Once you top out from the ridge, it's a short walk to the summit. Then just follow the path back to Patterdale for a beer or two ;-) What could be better?
