Fleetwith Pike rises to 649 m (2,129 ft) at the head of the Buttermere valley, with Honister Pass on its eastern side. It is a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall, HuMP and Birkett, with 118 m of prominence. From Buttermere village its north-west ridge, Fleetwith Edge, looks like a narrow wedge rising out of the valley floor. Haystacks lies 1.6 km to the south-west and Dale Head 2.0 km to the north-east, across the pass.
The classic route starts at Gatesgarth Farm and climbs Fleetwith Edge, passing a white memorial cross near the foot. The path is steep and rocky in places, with a few spots where you put a hand down, but it stays a walk. The easy option starts at Honister Pass, where you follow quarry tracks past the slate workings and Honister Crag to the summit.
The north face, Honister Crag, is a cliff scarred by old quarrying. From the summit you look down the length of Buttermere and Crummock Water.
