I wouldn't describe Dow Crag as being a route on another mountain, I believe it to be a mountain in its own right. I can now see that a page has been posted describing Dow Crag as a route, but I don't agree with this. Dow Crag is a mountain that has it's own routes i.e. Easy Gully, Easy Terrace, Giants Crawl and many more. It's prominence from Goats hause is almost 100m and it is at least a 2km hike to its neighbour Coniston Old Man. Therefore it has a look and feel of a separate mountain.
