Grasmoor
Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRA : Grasmoor
Grasmoor is a mountain in the north-western part of the Lake District, northern England. It is the highest peak in a group of hills between the villages of Lorton, Braithwaite and Buttermere, and overlooks Crummock Water.
Grasmoor is distinguished by its steep western flank, dropping dramatically to Crummock Water. This face is however not suitable for rock climbers as there is little clean rock, although Alfred Wainwright does describe a rather challenging route up the face in his Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells. To the east the fell is linked to others by Coledale Hause.
Grasmoor is often climbed from Coledale Hause and this is the simplest way up the mountain. Other popular ascents are from Rannerdale via the Lads How ridge, and from Buttermere via Whiteless Pike.
Grasmoor takes its name from grise, meaning wild boar.
