Raise

About Raise

Raise sits on the main spine of the Helvellyn range in the Eastern Fells, on the watershed between Thirlmere and Ullswater. At 883 metres it is a Wainwright, Hewitt and Nuttall, though without the prominence for Marilyn status.

Which hill this one belongs to

Raise is not counted as an independent hill in its own right. In prominence terms it belongs to Helvellyn (950 m) — the nearest Marilyn you can reach from this summit without first dropping below its key col, 791 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.
