The line of the first ascent up the final rocks of High Man is uncertain, but there is no doubting the courage and boldness of John Atkinson, an Ennerdale cooper, who made the first ascent alone in 1826. ### References [1] [https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/destinations/lake_district_scrambles_10_of_the_best-13425](https://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/destinations/lake_district_scrambles_10_of_the_best-13425) Diff --- before +++ after @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ UKC: ->Pillar is one of Lakeland's famous crags and a summit that defies the non-climbing hillwalker.
