About

At 978 metres Scafell Pike is the highest peak in England.
It is considered one of the most difficult of climbs in the Lake District.
The kudos of climbing England's largest peak and the stunning views to be seen over Wastwater to the west and the Langdale Pikes to the east, make this a popular climb.
The gentlest ascents are those from the Borrowdale side of the peak and from Wasdale Head on the western side.
