Scafell 964m |
||
|
Scafell is the second highest mountain in England after Scafell Pike, from which it is separated by the pass of Mickledore. Originally the name Sca Fell referred to the whole of the massif from Great End south to Slight Side; only more recently has the general term become applied solely to the part of the fell south of Mickledore. |
|
 |
||
| It was once believed that Sca Fell was the largest mountain in this part of the Lake District - it is much more prominent in views from many directions than its higher neighbour - with the three apparently inferior peaks to the north (those now known as Scafell Pike, Ill Crag and Broad Crag) being known collectively as the "Pikes of Sca Fell". | ||
  |
||
| Scafell Crag, the massive north buttress of Sca Fell, is one of England's largest cliffs and has many famous rock climbs including early routes which heralded the dawn of British Rock Climbing. | ||
