Finding the summit

Surveyor's note

rock near Wainwright cairn 100m SE at NY 36891 11207 is as high.

The recorded summit point is outcrop. That distinction matters on broad or flat tops, where the obvious cairn is not always the true high point.

Which hill this one belongs to

Hart Crag is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Fairfield (873 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 772 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.
