On a clear day we should get extensive views in all directions. Includes one steep non-technical climb up onto the Kinder Plateau off the Ashop Clough path via the site of an aircraft crash. It then visits a second aircraft crash site on the way over to Kinder Downfall. The descent from the top of Jacobs Ladder is on pathless terrain but is again non-technical.
