Jack's Rake in the Langdales or Langdale Pikes is one of the most famous scrambling routes in the Lake District, although not a hugely technical route there are high levels of exposure along the route.
A steep rocky ledge that climbs across the face of Pavey Ark, a huge cliff above Stickle Tarn and the Langdale Valley Jack's Rake is a much loved route by many Mountaineers.
Why not let one of our experienced guides take the risk out of this route.

| The Route: |
Our route climbs diagonally across these cliffs on a good ledge (it looks a bit more daunting from below than it really is) where a rocky scramble will lead us out to the summit of Pavey Ark.
An easy path now leads to the summit of Harrison Stickle, the most prominent of the Langdale Pikes.
We will then cross Harrison Combe to climb the rocky scramble to the summit of Pike O'Stickle, before descending over Loft Crag back to the New Dungeon Ghyll.
| Directions: |
Follow this road through the village of Chapel Stile and continue until the New Dungeon Ghyll Hotel is Seen up a lane to the right.
