Froswick, Mountain summit in Lake District, United Kingdom
Froswick rises to 720 meters between the valleys of Kentmere and Troutbeck, featuring steep western slopes and rough eastern terrain with scree formations.
The mountain has been incorporated into various classification systems including the Wainwright Fells, named after Alfred Wainwright's comprehensive Lake District guidebooks from the 1950s.
Local shepherds have maintained traditional grazing practices on Froswick's slopes for generations, contributing to the preservation of Lake District's agricultural heritage.
Hikers reach the summit via the Kentmere Horseshoe route, which connects multiple peaks through a circular path starting from the village of Kentmere.
The mountain displays different characteristics on each side: smooth slopes toward Troutbeck except for Blue Gill ravine, and scattered scree fans descending to River Kent.
