High Crag (744 metres) stands at the southern end of the High Stile ridge which divides the valleys of Ennerdale and Buttermere in the north-west of the English Lake District. It is often climbed as part of this popular ridge walk, from Black Sail youth hostel, or from Buttermere via Scarth Gap. The panoramas of the Great Gable and the Scafells are particularly memorable.
