Harrison Stickle

About Harrison Stickle

Harrison Stickle rises above Great Langdale as one of the Langdale Pikes, the group it shares with Pike of Stickle and Loft Crag, though the number of fells counted in the group is debated. Together they form probably the best-known mountain outline in the Lake District.

The word "stickle" denotes a hill with a prominent rocky top, which fits the summit at 735.3 m. Listings include Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett.

Which hill this one belongs to

Harrison Stickle is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to High Raise (763 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 681 m.

Grouping is by prominence alone: a summit belongs to the nearest higher Marilyn it connects to without a deeper intervening col. Over a large massif that can gather hills no one would walk in a single day, and which few would describe as parts of the same mountain — it is a measure of independence, not a suggested route.
