| The summit (actually marked as Stony Cove Pike) |
"Caudale Moor deserves far more respect than it usually get. The long featureless slope flanking the Kirkstone Pass is not at all characteristic of the fell: its other aspects are considerably more imposing".
Stony Cove Pike is a fell in the Far Eastern fells, standing on the other side of the Kirkstone Pass from Red Screes. It's also known as Caudale Moor or John Bell's Banner dues a number of summits at a similar height as the main one.
The fell is wide and sprawling, with six ridges leaving the summit area. It is mainly grassy, with a number of small tarns between the two tops. Walls follow the ridges to Hartsop Dodd, St Raven's Edge and Threshthwaite Mouth, making navigation of the complex ridge system easier.
The flatness of the top leads to a somewhat restricted view of the surrounding fells, although all of the major groups are in sight from the summit.
