- Summiteer says...
- First visited in 1977, and on many future occasions. This minor bump doesn't appear to be on any published list, so I'm not sure why it gets a mention here. It's fairly prominent when walking the ridge towards Lose Hill, but doesn't have much prominence from that higher top. I included it on my personal list that I compiled in the 1970's, of Peak District Hills over 1000 feet with 50 feet of prominence. But I don't know of any comparable list that has been published online. So it's a real mystery why it gets a separate classification on this site?
