About High Hartsop Dodd
High Hartsop Dodd rises at the head of Patterdale, between Dovedale and Caiston Glen, with Brothers Water and Hartsop Hall below. From the valley it looks like a sharp cone; from above it is the end of a ridge that drops from Little Hart Crag, 1.0 km south-west. Middle Dodd sits 1.3 km south across Caiston Glen and Red Screes rises 2.0 km south. It is a Wainwright and a Birkett.
The standard line starts at Cow Bridge near Brothers Water and walks past Hartsop Hall before climbing the nose head-on. The path is steep grass all the way, with no scrambling but little rest. From the summit you continue up the ridge to Little Hart Crag and can carry on to Dove Crag or descend to Scandale Pass.
The climb is short and tiring. From the top you see north along Patterdale to Ullswater and look across Dovedale to Hartsop Above How.
High Hartsop Dodd is 519 m (1,703 ft) high with 3 m of prominence. It is in Lake District E, England. OS grid reference NY393107.
