At 883 m (2897 ft), Raise is the 12th highest mountain in the Lake District, according to Wainwright's list. It stands on the long chain of hills known as the Helvellyn range; the summit of Helvellyn itself lies about 2.5 km to south.

Raise is separated from the next peak to the north, Stybarrow Dodd, by Sticks Pass, which provides a possible route to the summit. There is a ski tow on the northeastern slopes above Sticks Pass.

The southeastern side of Raise has steep slopes of scree overlooking Keppel Cove, a corrie at the head of the Glenridding Beck. There are the remains of a disused dam in Keppel Cover. A bridleway leads from the floor of Keppel Cove, to the col south of Raise, in a series of zig-zags; this track splits from Sticks Pass above Glenridding Youth Hostel.

Nearby hills include Helvellyn, Great Dodd, Stybarrow Dodd and White Side.
