"A favourite of all fellwalkers, Bowfell is a mountain that commands attention whenever it appears in view."

A Wainwright

Bowfell high above the Langdale Valley is ranked as the sixth highest mountain in the Lake District and is regarded by many as one of the best few!

The conical summit is easily visible from much of the Lake District and the rocky summit is as all should be. From the summit can be seen the best view of the Scafell range.

Several wonderful routes lead to the summit of Bowfell, particular favourites being the ridge along The Crinkle Crags and the route that climbs by the Great Slab almost directly to the summit.

Bowfell Buttress: Private Guiding
£200.00 From £50.00 per person

The Langdale Valley lagged behind in climbing history, with just a handful of routes having been established before the turn of the century. This route on Bowfell Buttress was responsible for unlocking an amazing venue for both summer and winter ascents. This is another extremely popular classic, and to have this route to yourself would be a real rarity! Starting from the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel nestled deep in the Langdale Valley we make our way westwards up the fellside ascending 'The Band'. Towards the top of this spur we will meet the climbers traverse which leads us along the base of the huge crags, and finally to Bowfell Buttress where our route starts. Learn More
