Honister Crag on the eastern side of Fleetwith Pike seen from Combe Gill
Honister Crag is a fell in the English Lake District. It has a height of 634 metres. It is adjacent to Fleetwith Pike, a higher summit, but it can claim to be a fell in its own right, as it is a Nuttall – one of the hills in England and Wales that are at least 2,000 feet (610 metres) high with a relative height of at least 15 metres (49.2 feet).[1]
Honister Crag is of interest to rock-climbers.[2]
