Ascents are usually straightforward and there are numerous trails leading to the summit and onwards, so you can add the hill into a longer adventure or keep it short and sweet. Sharp Haw is part of the larger Flasby Fell, and trails across the top make it easy to explore the entire hill as well as dip down to the valley. A good starting point is on the bend on Bog Lane, which is just west, off the B6265. You could also start from Flasby or Hetton, to the west and north respectively.
The summit is tiny but easy to find thanks to the trig pillar. You can enjoy sweeping views, particularly northwards to neighbouring fells like Cracoe, and southwards to the valley.
