Mellbreak & Hen Comb

"The start up the steep, craggy north ridge looks rather intimidating but is really - especially after a pint at the inn - a very pleasing scramble through heathery outcrops with magnificent aerial views."
A.Wainwright

A wonderful ascent from the Kirkstile Inn at Loweswater, Mellbreak surprises with it's stunning views, which you come across often almost by surprise when turning a corner around a crag on the ascent.

Stunning views over Crummock Water are the reward for the steep climb to Mellbreak and a descent by Scale Force, the highest waterfall in the Lake District, and returning either along the Crummock Water lake shore or over the summit of Hen Comb.
