Pavey Ark Via Jack's Rake : Harrison Stickle : Lake District Walks

Hey Everyone,

We are back in the Lake District National Park again.
This time to do Pavey Ark (700m) It's been on my to do list for quite some time.

Pavey Ark is one of the Langdale Pikes, lying to the north of Great Langdale. Jack's Rake is probably the most famous ascent of the Pavey Ark precipice and this is the route we are going to take in this video.

Once we reach the top we should get some great views down the Langdale Valley and over towards Lake Windermere too.

Jack’s Rake is a Grade 1 scramble. It is a fantastic hands on route up the face of Pavey but it dose require a head for heights and is quite steep in places. It should only really be attempted in good weather and should definitely be avoided in wet conditions as most of the rock is very polished.

Our route starts off from the National Trust carpark near the New Dungeon Gill Hotel. We make our way up towards Stickle Tarn following the bank of Stickle Gill where we stop for lunch and take a little look at the map before we head up the Rake itself.

Our route down is via Harrison Stickle (736m) where we stop for a final look around in the light of the setting sun before we head back down to the van.

Distance of the route taken in this video is approximately 6.5 km and should take around 3.5 to 5 hours.

I do hope you enjoy the video

All the very best

Mike
