 From Gatesgarth at the head of Buttermere, a path runs up the valley of Warnscale Beck.Passing around the crags of Haystacks it then crosses the plateau to pick up the Ennerdale fence, bound for Brandreth.If climbing from Borrowdale then the path alongside Sour Milk Gill into Gillercomb can be used, followed by a stiff pull up to Gillercomb Head.
