This is a strenuous route with long climbs, a stream crossing, and open moorland that will be boggy if wet. Stunning views from Embsay Crag across to Pendle Hill and from Rylston Cross. Nice place to stop for lunch

There's a good trail on the ground either from Flasby (the more interesting route) or Skipton side, and a rocky summit with a trig point - the perfect destination for a fell run
