    Pavey Ark will forever hold a special place in my heart! It was my 214th Wainwright - the final peak bagging cherry on top of my first Wainwright round back in 2018. I visited it again in 2021 and had a lovely warm feeling overlooking Stickle Tarn once again. What stunning views. Jack's Rake is a great scramble if you have a head for heights and enjoy putting your hands on the rock. For those wanting a more traditional walk, Pavey Ark can be approached from multiple other angles that avoid scrambling. The last time I hiked Pavey Ark, I approached it from Harrison Stickle and left towards Raise.
