Foxes Rake up to the tarn is the “easy” way to Scafell from Mickledore but it isn’t without its challenges. In summer it is usually dry so is a straightforward scramble up. In winter it can become a serious undertaking under snow, and without snow the water can turn to ice which persists because the sun never gets here much in winter.
At least it is easier than some of the other alternatives.
