From the Wasdale side of Scafell rises the huge Scafell Crag, several buttresses of rock climbing to near the summit of Scafell, between the rocks lie a few good routes. Some are too technical for a walking group but some make a great day out on the fells when combined with a circuit over Scafell and Scafell Pike.
Why not let our fully qualified instructors take you from Wasdale on this amazing route, using their experience to pick the path.

| The Route: |
From Wasdale Head we follow the path across the fields to Brackenclose where we will climb by Lingmell Gill to Hollow Stones, a huge amphitheatre between the summits of Scafell and Scafell Pike, a path from here leads onto Lords Rake, a series of stony gullies leading out to easier ground beyond where a short walk will bring us to the summit of Scafell.
From Scafell we descend a steep path to Fox's Tarn where a path then leads below the East Buttress of Scafell Crag climbing to Mickledore, the shoulder between Scafell and Scafell Pike, a short climb now leads to the summit of Scafell Pike, the highest peak in England.
There are several great routes leading back to Wasdale Head, our favourite is to descend alongside Piers Gill on a good path descending above the huge ravine and back to the valley.
