High Crag is a minor fell on the Helvellyn Range in the eastern region of the English Lake District.

High Crag is a rocky crag, over 100 m high, which rises abruptly above the head of Ruthwaite Cove (/ˈrʌθət/)[1] and which forms a minor fell on the south ridge of Nethermost Pike, at a point some 350 m north of the col between that mountain and Dollywaggon Pike.

Walkers may reach the summit of High Crag by taking a short diversion from the ridge path.

[4] The flat summit of High Crag is marked by a cairn which is visible from the neighbouring tops.

The Helvellyn Tuff Formation was formed by an explosive volcanic eruption which produced a large-volume pyroclastic flow of very hot gas and rock.
