During the week of this year's Keswick Mountain Festival, members of The Wainwright Society were raising funds in aid of Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team, with a challenge called The North Western Ascent. A total of £1800 was raised.

The challenge was based on the 95 routes of ascent shown in Alfred Wainwright’s Sixth Pictorial Guide, The North Western Fells.
