Brilliant little scramble, very safe and managable 😊

This is a short but high ascent of a scramble called Foxes Rake. It is a relatively easy scramble but if wet would be very slippy. This takes you up to a plateau where Foxes Tarn should be if not in drought (it was) and then you can choose if you want to play and scramble again up stagger up what was grass banking as such. Once at the top you can tap out on Scafell Cairn the 2nd highest Fell in the Lakes.

Stickle Ghyll is one of the most popular locations for Ghyll Scrambling/Gorge Walking in the Lake District. There is over 2 kilometres to explore, with pools to wade through, waterfalls to climb and a number of deep pools - one of which is deep enough to jump into. (Lakes Outdoors Experience)

Starting the Honister Pass climb from Seatoller, the B5289 initially rises steadily from the beautiful Borrowdale valley. Find a sustainable rhythm early, but know the real test lies ahead. The gradient ramps up severely in the latter stages, especially after crossing the stream bridge. Experience the full force of the climb on the final brutal ramps leading towards the Honister Slate Mine at the summit, where the gradient reaches a formidable 25%. Feel the stunning, rugged Lake District scenery unfold around you as you push hard on the narrow, winding road. Be aware of other traffic sharing this challenging ascent. The reward is immense satisfaction as you crest the summit by the mine, with breathtaking views back down Borrowdale.

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.

Scrambles In places and steep

The road linking the summit of Honister and Seatoller is a fantastic section of the Honister Pass which cuts through the beautiful Borrowdale Valley. It's called the 'Borrowdale side' and is much stepper and more enclosed than the 'Butttermere side', on the other side of the pass after the slate mine, which is wide open and a more gradual climb/descent.

fantastic scramble along waterfalls, good to have waterproof boots
