Southerly Ramshead to South Ramshead Map

This is a very simply skin along the ridgeline to the south from the Southerly Ramshead to the South Ramshead. It is approximately 1 kilometre between the two peaks, and both are typified by very rocky knolls. You can either stay up along the ridgeline and take in the views from both sides, or take a shorter faster route just to the east of the ridgeline, but keeping enough vertical so you don't need to climb up too far before heading to the South Ramshead summit. This should only take about an hour.

Wide gentle slopes at around 20 degrees or less.

Low Exposure (E1)
