The fell is the subject of a chapter of Wainwright's book The Outlying Fells of Lakeland. His clockwise circuit from Broughton Mills includes Great Stickle at , Tarn Hill at , Stickle Pike, a nameless summit at , north of Raven's Crag which is bypassed, and The Knott at . This last shares its name with The Knott above Hayeswater in the far eastern fells and another outlying fell near Stainton Pike, as well as with Knott north of Skiddaw.
