    Tips

    September 28, 2022

    Hiking

    One of the most challenging ways to the summit of Bowfell is via the Climbers' Traverse. This narrow and exposed path passes beneath the fell's shadowy, craggy northwestern flanks and gives access to Great Slab, an impressive angled rock slab. The Climbers' Traverse is treacherous in wet, windy or icy conditions, so save it for a fine day.

    Hiking

    An alternative route up or down to the summit of Bow Fell also goes past the great slab well worth doing
