The Nuttall's guide puts Broadcrag Tarn as slightly higher, based on looking at large-scale maps.

[3] A higher unnamed tarn on Long Top, the highest of the Crinkle Crags, has an altitude of 2,786 feet (849 m).

[2] The tarn varies in size[5] and has very little outflow, but what little there is descends to How Beck and the River Esk.

The direct ridge route crosses Broad Stand, which can only be negotiated safely by rock-climbers.

[6] Two main alternatives exist for walkers, one being via Lord's Rake, and the other involving a descent to Foxes Tarn before a re-ascent.
