Downward scramble on the Corridor route on the way up to Scafell Pike, has quite an intimidating drop, but is OK with care. If descending from Scafell Pike, however, watch out for the arrows scratched in the rock face, we missed them the first time doing the Corridor route on a rainy windy day. Climbing up further past is do-able but more of a challenge best left to experienced scramblers!
