📖 Key Information

Sergeant Man at 736m (2,415ft) is the subsidiary summit of High Raise above Langdale, a rocky outcrop on the rim of the plateau with outstanding views of the Langdale valley and the Pikes below. Wainwright noted it as a fine viewpoint that many walkers visit on the way to or from High Raise, the rocky crest giving a better sense of the Langdale view than the flat summit plateau of the main fell. The views across to Harrison Stickle, Pavey Ark and the full Langdale cirque are excellent. Most naturally reached from New Dungeon Ghyll via Stickle Tarn and the Langdale Pikes.

🎯 Bonus Birketts within 3 km

These Birkett tops are not Wainwright summits — detour to them on this walk and they are pure profit. Distances are straight-line; allow extra for terrain.
