Description

Scrambles in the Lake District - South Langdale, Coniston, Eskdale, Patterdale and High Street by John Fleetwood is a comprehensive guide to 106 scrambling routes in the south of the English Lake District. The guide covers a range of terrain, from crags and gills, and offers 24 first-class mountain days, graded from scrambling grade 1 to climbing grade V Diff. This makes it suitable for both beginners and experienced mountaineers, with options for those who need to use rock climbing equipment. The guide includes detailed descriptions of each scramble, including notes on grade, quality, aspect, and approach, as well as colour maps and topos to aid navigation. It also provides information on safety and equipment, and allows readers to assemble their own tailor-made combination of routes. The Lake District is renowned for its scenic beauty, and this guide offers new routes in previously unexplored corners of the region, alongside popular classics. In addition to the scrambling routes, the guide also features 10 classic rock climbs, including Giant's Crawl, Middlefell Buttress, and Crescent Climb.
