Approach: From Cockley Beck cross the bridge and take the stile on the right onto Ulpha Fell. Cross the footbridge and ascend directly to the base of the first outcrop.
Route: Start from the old collapsed wall, from where a rib leads up steepening ground, then move right to climb the steep wall ahead. Ahead is to steep, so move left into an overgrown gulley. Take this diagonally up to the right to a vertical block then left to easier slabs. Climb the slabs then a small outcrop above to a gully. Cross the gully to the crag on the right, then follow the left hand side of the rib to another outcrop. MOve to the far right of this wider outcrop and a rib followed by rough slabs.
A short walk brings you to another small crag which is easily taken directly to a grassy platform. Move left here to the bse of the higher of the two outcrops. A rib climbs steeply to a series of slabs, then right to a large rock covered ledge. At the right hand end of the large ledge a series of short, and sometimes steep, grooves and pulls lead to the base of the final pyramids. A direct start up the slabs then a rib takes care of the final difficulties leaving a simple scramble up the final pyramid.
