 Panoramic print of Scafell and Scafell Pike - panoramic picture of Scafell Pike from Eskdale
Scafell Pike, the highest of the Lakeland Fells and of the mountains of England, is not the easiest of subjects for the photographer.
Whilst Scafell Pike is most popularly ascended from the north and west via Wasdale or Borrowdale, I have always felt that its grandest aspect is that from the remote and less visited Eskdale.
The plan to traverse across to the south ridge of Esk Pike was a 'non-starter' and I elected to climb up and over the summit instead.

 Bowfell & Allen Crags
However, as we set off towards Esk Pike, we found a new hazard that persisted all the way; the strong winds had smoothed the snow into large sheets of ice and it was difficult to stand still on the ice.

 Esk Pike and Bow Fell Cumbria
From the wide grassy hause, Esk Pike is where it should be without really looking the part, you turn left before you reach the main profusion of cairns and pick up a grassy path.
The grassy path quickly becomes rocky and rugged in the nature of Esk Pike, the bright views of Ill Crag behind contrasted to the frosted rocks on this shaded side of the hill.
I can't remember being on Esk Pike when I could see it and the colours in the summit cairn seem brighter than usual and the views go on forever.

 4: The Southern Fells (Page Four)
The mountain was originally known as the Pikes of Scafell because an there are two other summits which get a page each in the Wainwright book, these being the boulder strewn Broad Crag, and the little visited Ill Crag.
The main path up from Esk Hause passes within a few minutes of these summits and they are well worth a visit.
My most recent trip to Scafell Pike was on Millennium Eve, when I spent the night in a bivvy on the summit.
