West of the summit is a broad slope leading down to Heckbarley (1,280 ft), a wide plateau with little prominence which is separated from the main fell by Stinking Gill and Goat Gill. Heckbarley has Grike's only real crags on its northern face. The ridge now turns south over a wooded depression to cross the minor tops of Blakeley Raise (1,276 ft), Burn Edge (1,050 ft) and Swarth Fell (1,099 ft). In his influential "Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells", Alfred Wainwright included only the first of these within the territory of Grike, although some later writers like Bill Birkett have added the whole of the ridge as far as the National Park boundary. The Coldfell road runs along the western side of these tops.
