This route climbs Hallin Fell from a free parking area at Martindale, on the east side of Ullswater. It sits at about 225 m, so a good part of the fell's 388 m is below you before you start. The nearest bus stop with a current service is Cattle Grid in Martindale, about 500 m away, served by the UB1.

The line is about 800 m long and gains about 160 m, one of the shortest routes to a Wainwright summit on this site. It leaves the parking on a short track and a lane, then follows a single footpath all the way to the top.

The climb is steady from start to finish. The path passes about 280 m at 300 m in, 330 m at 500 m, and reaches the summit at 388 m. OpenStreetMap grades the middle 350 m of the path mountain hiking, one step above its easiest grade, and the rest hiking.

Nearly all of the line crosses open access land; only a few tens of metres near the start are public rights of way. The route ends a few metres from the mapped path, at the summit point.

Hallin Fell is 388 m high, 203rd of the 214 Wainwrights by height, and belongs to the Far Eastern Fells in Book 2.
