I have climbed this beast in snow, fog and now sun shine! Up via Esk Hause and down via Sty Head completes a perfect circuit from Seathwaite Farm. All kinds of paths are meet and even some scrabbling is needed.

Was a good trek up from Wasdale, beautiful stream running down the side of the hill. There are a few small scrambles to be done if you can find them. Nearer to the summit it gets very rocky so be sure of your footing. Plenty of cairns along the path but if it is misty make sure you have a map and compass. Worth a visit

Its the highest mountain in England therefore worth a visit. Its not the best mountain to climb but the views from the top command respect.

After many visits to Wasdale, I finally thought it would be worth paying a visit to Scafell Pike. I went up from the NT Campsite via Hollow Stones - very eerie with the mist and climbers calling to each other from the crags and a complete contrast to the summer's day I'd left behind in the valley. The gully below Mickledore was very loose so I improvised a short scramble which brought me out beside the stretcher box. Then a brief clamber up to the summit cairn. I came down via the Lingmell col path - now something of a motorway in places. 6 hours round trip with stops for photos.

Best route for me was completed by accident. After a glorious summer morning ascending Bowfell from Great Langdale, I looked across towards the summit of Scafell Pike and thought 'oh, go on then!'. Took in Esk Pike first then the route via Esk Hause. What a day! Views were great throughout and the whole experience made better due to the fact that it was totally unplanned. Descended via Angle Tarn - whole route took approx 10 hours, but that was with a 5 year old and 8 year old in tow. In short, Scafell Pike from Langdale - unmissable!
