Grisedale Pike rises to 790 m (2,592 ft) above Braithwaite and the Whinlatter Pass, west of Keswick. With 191 m of prominence it is a Marilyn as well as a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett. From Keswick it looks like a neat pyramid. Crag Hill, the nearest higher fell, is 2.3 km to the south, and Hopegill Head lies 1.3 km to the west.
The standard route climbs from Braithwaite up the ridge over Kinn and Sleet How, a long steady pull on a clear path that steepens near the top. Walkers also come up from Whinlatter, joining the same ridge through the forest. From the summit, the Coledale Horseshoe continues west to Hopegill Head, around Coledale Hause and back over Crag Hill and Sail.
Hobcarton Crag drops from the ridge to the west of the summit into Hobcarton valley. The final section of path is loose shale, slippery in the wet.
