From Wainwright's The North Western Fells, Robinson 8: 'A young rowan has secured a precarious foothold on this crag. Can it survive? Will some kind reader write to the author in 1970 and say it is still alive and well?'. In the 2008 Jesty updated version, it was stated as still there and now known as 'Wainwright's Rowan'.
