    Tips

    August 27, 2024

    Broad Stand is not a way for walkers to gain access to Scafell from Mickledore. It is often used by rock climbers in descent but it is a serious climb and many accidents have happened here.
    If you are trying to access Scafell, descend south towards Eskdale then scramble up Foxes Gully to Foxes Tarn and the scree slope to the summit. This is safe in all but winter conditions.

      Hard walk on top of scree, will have you breathing heavy at the top
