High Raise

High Raise is a mountain summit in the Central Fells of the Lake District that rises to approximately 760 meters. The peak is marked by a rock outcrop situated slightly southeast of the survey point at its top.

The summit was included in classic Lake District walking guides during the 20th century and has remained a popular climbing destination ever since. Its classification within several hill-ranking systems reflects its importance in regional fell-walking traditions.

The peak belongs to multiple recognized hill classifications including Birkett Hills, Fellranger, and Wainwright Hills in the Lake District collection.

Reaching this summit requires good navigation skills and bringing local walking maps is strongly recommended. The ascent can become challenging in poor weather conditions, so checking the forecast beforehand and wearing appropriate gear is important.

A small rock block at the summit extends about 30 centimeters above the survey marker and provides natural wind shelter. Many walkers instinctively use this formation to protect themselves from the often strong winds at elevation.
