Over the years there have been numerous rescues on this path by Keswick Mountain Rescue. The path should be deleted from OSM to reduce the number call outs. The preferred route to Barf summit is by Beckstones Gill. There are signs at the base of the hill pointing people towards Beckstone Gill. The path does not feature on the 1:25000 OS map.
