The name says it all really, the Crinkle Crags are a fine rocky ridge taking in several summits and a few short scrambles along the way.

The Crinkles are one of the classics, it's challenging, exciting and an absolute must, the views are superb. It's an amazing sight to behold that you'll be chewing at the bit to get the adventure under way.

Our instructors are experts in this terrain and will safely navigate from The Old Dungeon Ghyll taking in the spectacular views that this challenging ridge has to offer.

The Route:
From The Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel we will follow the path that climbs to Red Tarn, this is a good path which leads to the summit of the First Crinkle.

From here on the path becomes a little rockier, a short climb leads to the summit of the Second Crinkle, Long Top the highest of the tops.

Wonderful and ever changing views will be seen all along the ridge looking down to the Langdale Valley and across to the Langdale Pikes.

A gentle path leads around the rest of the summits on the ridge before descending to Three Tarns.
From Three Tarns the path descends the long path of The Band, an easy descent back to the Langdale Valley.

An optional addition to this route is to add the summit of Bowfell, a wonderful summit and the sixth highest in the Lake District.
