Description
A justifiably popular and scenic route to ascend the two major tops of The Langdale Pikes; Harrison Stickle and Pike O’Stickle. Stickle Ghyll is ascended to Stickle Tarn Dam followed by the main path to the top of Harrison Stickle. A short descent and traverse leads to the scrambly top of Pike O’Stickle before a good path descends beneath Thorn Crag and on down the shoulder of Mark Gate. (1.3mb) 12 Pages.
LENGTH: 5½km
TIME: 4 hours

ALTERNATIVE STARTS: The Old Dungeon Ghyll lies 1km to the west.
