Started in Grasmere village after and took the path up Far Easdale to the footbridge over Far Easdale Gill. Two mountain rescue vehicles passed us on the Easdale Road, we think, heading back from Helm Crag. After the footbridgewe headed along the path heading for Easdale Tarn. On reaching the shoulder a path headed up the east ridge of Tarn Crag. Easy to miss in the bracken and on the ascent very indistinct in places. We found it best to keep to the ridge as far as possible. There were no problem areas but was quite a long gradual ascent to the summit.
The walk on to Sergent Man would have been possible in the conditions, but time (and tired legs) did not permit so we descended the same way enjoying the vista over to Fairfield and the Helvellyn range
