Bakestall

Grid Reference: | NY 26647 30740 |
Height: | 673 metres/2208 feet |
"It would pass almost without comment but for it's command of a scene of extra ordinary interest." |
A. Wainwright |
On the northern flank of Skiddaw a grassy shoulder descends towards Dash Falls, one prominent summit lies on this shoulder, Bakestall, when seen from below a shapely summit with crags below.
Bakestall makes a good route off Skiddaw to the Skiddaw House supply road, descending to Peter House Farm on the Orthwaite Road.
The summit offers a fine view over Great Calva and the Back O'Skiddaw fells to the north.
