Wainwright gave the name Brock Crags to the section of ridge between Rest Dodd and Angletarn Pikes, although the summit carrying this name stands to the west of the watershed.

Brock Crags sends out a narrow climbing ridge eastwards to Rest Dodd, having steep ground on both sides.

Below Lingy Crag on the western side there is an area of broadleaved plantation above Goldrill Beck, but the slopes are invariably steep.

The steeply gouged head of Bannerdale, including Buck Crags below the 1,870 ft summit, forms the northeastern flank of the fell, the inside of the 'elbow'.

The main walkers' route from Patterdale to High Street is a clear path running along the ridge and passing just below the true summit.
