Climb Scafell Pike

Wasdale

Difficulty level: Fair / Moderate
This is the shortest route up to the summit of Scafell Pike. It heads straight up from the northern edge of Wastwater, England’s deepest lake, along the well-developed rocky trail all the way up to the top. Views down to the sparkling waters of Wastwater and the dramatic crags dominating the skyline behind are enough of an excuse to stop and catch your breath!

Corridor Route

Difficulty level: Moderate
Starting at the little hamlet of Seathwaite, nestled in the Borrowdale Valley, this route includes some more challenging terrain than the Wasdale route. A real highlight of the day is traversing along the great bouldery flanks of Great End and Broad Crag on the famous Corridor Route.

Langdale

Difficulty level: Moderate / Hard
The route from Langdale is longer than the other options, but the ascent is much more gentle. The views are simply incredible, and the paths can be quieter than the alternatives. This alone gives the route a sense of calm, making it a wonderful way to approach the summit. Some difficult terrain will still be crossed, and the boulder field we cross to reach the summit requires care.

Scafell Pike by starlight

Difficulty level: Hard
Take the challenge of climbing to 978m, the highest point of England, with the illumination of the stars to guide you. The sense of achievement of reaching the summit of Scafell Pike during the night is amazing, and the reward is watching a spectacular light show as the sun creeps above the horizon to reveal England’s highest mountains.
