From the Wikipedia article
Watson's Dodd is a fell in the English Lake District, a minor rise on the main ridge of the Helvellyn range in the Eastern Fells, but a prominent shoulder on the west side of that range. At its foot is the imposing crag of Castle Rock, on which rock climbers have developed some 60 named routes.
