Pavey ark and Stickle tarn by

This is Pavey Ark, the eastern-most of the Langdale Pikes. From Stickle Tarn you can see a path ascending the scree to a “Y”; the left-hand branch is Jack’s Rake, the right-hand one is Easy Gully (all things being relative, of course). For ordinary mortals, the path up is round the right and back of Pavey Ark.
Which is the way I have been.
it is one of the most popular Scrambles in the English lake district national park Cumbria.
It has height of 700 metres from sea level
I haven’t done it…yet.
Stickle Tarn lies in a dramatic location below the steep eastern face of Harrison Stickle (736 metres/ 2,415 feet), which you can’t see in this shot, the tarn is a waterfilled corrie lying at an elevation of 473 metres (1552 feet) and has a depth of around 50 feet. The tarn was enlarged by the building of a stone dam in 1838 and is used to supply water for the inhabitants of Great Langdale.
