Photo: Whernside Summit – The wall used to continue in a straight line past the trig with only a squeeze stile to allow access to the top. More recently, the wall has been rebuilt to accommodate two curved windbreaks, one facing north and one facing south. There is a similar set up now on Pen y Ghent.
