Hiking
A word of caution. The ascent up Barf's south east face, via the Bishop of Barf (a distinctive white-painted rock), catches a lot of people out. It is relentlessly steep and features the kind of tricky scrambling that is normally associated with larger fells. Mountain Rescue receive a number of call outs every year to this route. You have been warned.
