The day of our visit started with glorious weather and we parked in the NT car park at Wasfell. The surface of the water was mirror like and made for some great photographs. In fact we enjoyed great views for about 2/3 of our ascent. Our route was one of the longer ones and often very difficult underfoot. That's not a complaint as we enjoyed the challenge. As we gained elevation the weather closed in with mist and rain so new views from the top on this occasion but still great to be there. The pillar is quite small and is suffering the ravages of time and weather. Kind of expected something better for Englands highest mountain.

Tried but failed to climb England's highest mountain from Eskdale the previous day. Second attempt we went from the popular Wasdale free car park. Very hard slog for me, both up and down. Very busy. Some breaks in the cloud. Yes it's spectacular but I'm not just not up to this exertion any more, hence my 8 rather than 10. Some damage to pillar.


Me at 3,209 ft with the help of an old but sturdy walking cane.

On a walk with two mates, Steve and Andy. We'd come up from Wasdale Head on a hot day intending to do Lord's Rake up to Scafell, but missing the right turn up the scree continued up the path to the Pike and bagged the trig. The area was surrounded by knee deep boulders and smothered in walkers, some of the lasses in bikinis...what a sight for sore eyes and legs. Back down and several delicious pints of Ennerdale Ale.

Set off from the car park at Wasdale Head to Scafell Pike. We decided to go via Lingmell rather than take the tourist route. My purpose of the visit was Geocaching. This trig point is a virtual geocache. A double whammy as I could log both. Great weather today.

Over 35 years since I was last up here, so a return to log it properly today. Forecast was for a very warm day but an early start from Seathwaite via the corridor route and we were on the top before the heat of the day. A good cooling wind on the top helped as well.

Visited during a training walk for a National Three Peaks Challenge the following weekend. Actually the fifth time I've summited Scafell Pike over a period of about 25 years, only one of those five visits has offered up a view. Cloud above 2500' feet today, raining heavily and with windchill extremely cold on the top. Didn't hang around. (Have to mark it a 10 - it's the highest in England innit)

Morning start from Wasdale head - just me and the dog. Very quiet walk. Started ~7.15 and at summit before 10 (2.5hr ascent). Sun in eyes on way up but quite clear view and very few people on path. Summit freezing wind chill with light snow on ground. Didn't stay long. Descent hindered by dog's short legs! Took about 1.5hr. By the time we reached the base it was baking hot. Path up was chock full of people and dogs coming up.

A chilly morning with an icy wind

Revisit - Set off from Wasdale Head at 6.00am (almost 2 hours before sunrise!) Path up was very easy to find - mostly a pavement. Arrived via Broad Stand. At this time in the morning on a midweek in October I had the hill to myself! Excellent. The main aim of my visit was to try to find the Ordnance survey benchmark. I found a very worn mark at NY 21534 07213 and have decided (convinced myself) that this is the mark. If it is the mark then it will be the highest mark in the country (England). If any other visitors would care to visit it (and perhaps give a second opinion) I have posted photos at https://www.flickr.com/photos/150153900@N05/37081422214 and https://www.flickr.com/photos/150153900@N05/23937995088.

Bagged as Peak 2 of the 24-hour Three Peaks Challenge. We started at 0450 from Wasdale Head and were up and down in 3 hours 23 mins. Actually my 2nd visit as I did it during a YHA holiday as a 16 yr old. Spectacular views of mist-clagged valleys on the way up helped to overcome demanding pace. Horrid descent with aching legs! Why is it not called Scafell Pike I wonder??

Fourth visit. I can't believe how many people have scored it 5/10 (or below). If it's a cloudy or foggy day it's your own fault for simply 'bagging' the trig - be patient, go on a clear day, and enjoy the views. Part of what makes it so special is that you have to pick your moment.

Just checking through my YSM and TP photos and discovered that I had omitted to log this on the TP site! What an oversight of what was a great achievement of mine to attain the English heights of Sca Fell and Scafell Pike albeit several years ago [sorry cannot remember when]. Stockport Freebird and I had stayed at the wonderful Wasdale Youth Hostel and had driven up and parked at Wasdale Head NT carpark, and then hiked up on a beautiful day [ie too hot for me] in order for me to achieve my ambition of getting to the top of both high points! The trig point as far as I can remember was fine... BUT I have been unable to find a photo for proof [will ask SF] It was however a long and painful downhill walk which I can remember!

Approached from the bottom of the HardKnot pass up the upper Eskdale valley heading for final ascent up to Esk Hause via the tongue. By far the best route I have taken onto Scafell Pike. The long walk up the valley on a glorious spring day was well worth it. Topped out on Gt End, completing other tops on route to the trig pillar. the usual crowds at the summit making the best of an absolute cracking day. Return descent via the Mickledore and drop back in down into the upper Eskdale valley. 20k round.

I have not seen much of Lake District before but enjoyed the scenery on the drive past Wast Water. Was pleased to find that displaying my NTS membership card saved me £6.50 parking fee to National Trust.

Second visit. For photographs and GPS measurement. Approached from west. Parked in National Trust car park at NY182075, cost £6.50 unless you have a NTS member on board. Followed the popular route up through Hollow Stones and around the north end of Pikes Crag to summit. Pikes Crag. Scafell Pike is highest summit and trig point in England although the OS have named the triangulation station after the neighbouring second highest summit, Sca Fell. Lake District. Boulder field summit. Stone built pillar in check condition. Spider centre open, centre pipe blocked with debris. Flush bracket faces NNW, ~348°. All horizontal sight holes plugged. Full 360° panoramic view when clouds permit.

Parked at Seathwaite and walked up to Styhead Tarn and then onto Corridor Route. Did a short detour to Lingmell for lunch and there was a grand total of two other people there. Went on over Scafell Pike and on past Esk Hause to Sprinkling Tarn. From there I ascended Seathwaite Fell, which was interesting, and scrambled back down to Stockley Bridge. Scafell Pike was too busy but the weather was tremendous and views superb. Photos to follow.

Looking through some old photos and found this TP. Bagged this back in 2008 with Penfold1570 long before I knew about TUK. Bit of a murky day and very foggy at the top, as I remember, so no view to comment on. The next day was lovely and sunny and we got an epic 360 view from nearby Great Gable. A memorable walking trip.

Clear views from the top when I arrived, but I watched the cloud come in and smother the summit as I was descending. Approached via Eskdale and Little Narrowcove, surely one of the most arduous routes in? Looks like I picked a day when there's an organised 3 Peaks challenge on, summit was quite busy with lots of walkie-talkie chatter and flags being raised etc.

Return via Mickledore was more intersesting. We had a fine day which made our first visit here memorable. ***Re-visited 13 May 2009. ***Re-visited 6 Apr 2019. ***Revisited 4 Aug 2019.

The occasion was an old college friend's 'Stag Do', many months after his actual wedding. The participants were college alumni of differing degrees of fitness and experience in taking on a big hill in poor conditions. Twenty years after graduating some friendships were worn pretty thin...much squabbling and bickering ensued. A day I remember only for all the wrong reasons. My first TP in the Lake District, over a decade later and I've not been tempted back.

Excellent trig but what is the point of that awful viewing platform next to the trig? It spoils the summit. The trig should be the highest point.

Not the trig point! OK it's not the trig point - we could hardly stand up on the top, but what a day!©littlejim

Bit silly naming the trig after the next door fell. A sunny day and a busy Scafell Pike summit. Trig stone clad. Climbed from Wasdale via Esk Hause and descended over Lingmell. I had planned this as my final Wainwright but we were staying in Wasdale with a friend who was going to do the 3 peaks and wished to recce the route.

Did this one as part of the 3 Peaks that we did over the period of a week. This was the second after Ben Nevis and before Snowdon. Very foggy day, very wet too. This was back in the good old days before we had a gps and had to rely on our map and compass only.:-)

Up from Seathwaite via Esk Hause and Broad Crag. Back along the Corridor route. A good walk, but appalling weather on the top. Couldn't actually walk facing forwards due to the sharpness of the wind, rain, hail etc. 977m Me, Lou

Scorching hot day.. yet not too busy, considering this is a country top - too late in the year for the dreaded 3 peaks mob.. This is Scafell Pike, Scafell's slightly higher neighbour. Fine pair of hills, went up from Eskdale..

A group of friends made the ascent from Wasdale Head in good weather at the August Bank Holiday weekend, assumed the Sunday as Saturday would have been used for driving from Grimsby in one of the group's old Landrover. I didn't have much interest in the pillar in those days, it was more about the challenge. I assume the condition was good as others said at the time. This is a retrospective log added 28 April 2020.

The pillar incidentally captured in the view.

first hill in Lake District. Drove from Bristol, slept in car at Troutbeck, awoke to get our first glorious view in daylight, waited for petrol station to open at 9.00 in Ambleside, drove over Hardknott Pass to Wasdale Head and climbed Great End, still snow patches on ground, Ill Crag, Broad Crag, Scafell Pike, Mickledore, Lord's Rake and back via Slight Side. Car at 7.00pm! Car battery flat! Push start and to Roshthwaite for our B and B. What a day!
