Fleetwith Pike is the north-western shoulder of Grey Knotts.
It is bounded by Honister Pass to the north and Warnscale Bottom to the south-west, their two streams uniting beneath the fell in Buttermere.
The north west ridge rising almost from the lakeshore at Gatesgarth is named Fleetwith Edge, and is a striking feature from any direction.
The top of the fell is situated directly at the top of the edge, while a lower summit stands to the east atop Honister Crag.
Fleetwith Pike is lined on all sides by impressive crags, other than for the broad plateau leading across the Drum House to Grey Knotts.

Innominate Tarn is a small tarn in the north of the Lake District.
It is situated at 520 metres above sea level, near the summit of Haystacks. The word Innominate means "without a name".

Haystacks is topped by crags which giving a soaring curved profile from the settlement of Gatesgarth.
Warnscale Beck, one of the feeder streams of Buttermere, runs down beneath Green Crag from its source near Great Round How.
There are the remains of extensive quarries on the upper slopes of Warnscale, including Dubs, once served by a tramway from the summit of Honister Pass.
Across Warnscale is Fleetwith Pike, a satellite of Grey Knotts.

The summit sits on a short rocky spine, set at right angles to the ridge.
Both ends of the ridge have cairns, that at the northern end being the accepted summit. A lower parallel ridge lies just to the east.
The view is excellent, the high points being Gable Crag on Great Gable and the western panorama of Ennerdale Water and High Crag. 
Crummock Water and Buttermere are also well seen.

The summit has a number of tarns. The highest is just below the top, generally referred to as the summit tarn but officially unnamed.
Halfway along the ridge is Innominate Tarn, a popular beauty spot with an indented rocky shore and a line of tiny islets.
At the eastern end is Blackbeck Tarn, a long slender pool which overflows through a cleft in the crags.
