The classic descent on the Western Flank has been paved in part.
Should you wish to avoid the scramble and / or exposure of the Southern Face; you could take this route as an up and down to the summit.
You would be getting against the crowds going up but the path is large enough to be taken two ways.
To take this route; start and finish at Horton-in-Ribbledale.
