Description
Glaramara is the evocatively named high point of the shoulder running between the valleys of Langstrath to the east and Seathwaite to the west. It’s most visible feature, seen from the Borrowdale road at the head of the valley, is the great hanging glacial basin known as The Combe. This route climbs the spur forming the right side of The Combe, Thornythwaite Fell, to reach the summit rocks before making steep descent by the side of Hind Gill to Seathwaite.
