Helm Crag

"The virtues of Helm Crag have not been lauded enough. It gives an exhilarating little climb, a brief essay in real mountaineering, and, in a region where all is beautiful, it makes a notable contribution to the natural charms and attractions of Grasmere."

A Wainwright

One of the most famous and rightly popular fells in Lakeland, Helm Crag does not disappoint those that climb it's modest height.

Recognisable from below for the famous Lion and Lamb rocks on the summit ridge (where there are two separate rocks that give the Lion and Lamb shape to those travelling from different directions) the summit is a wonderful rocky area well worth a short exploration, and the summit rock, the Howitzer, is the only summit that Wainwright never quite reached the summit of, climbing to the summit entails a short scramble, not recommend in damp weather!

Scafell Pike from Seathwaite Dates: 23 Apr 2016. Just reach the top of Scafell pike it was a great day a bit windy, but warn and when the sun comes through its georgeous and views breathtaking. People always say you can go on your own, but I wanted to go with a guide and a group of people with similar interests. Our guide Neil was really good and knowledgeable and professional at all times, took time to know the group members. Really good group with the same abilities. What a great day, worth the pain sweating and sore feet. Thanks ladies and gents for your company. Looking forward to booking the next trip! This was a awesome experience, could not fault anything, just be prepared it is a long walk over very rough rocky ground.
