Scafell Pike

Scafell Pike

Visitors to Scafell Pike must be prepared and have significant mountaineering experience.

Our volunteer mountain rescue teams are attending an increasing number of preventable rescue call-outs to the Scafell range, particularly to Piers Gill from the corridor route to Scafell Pike.

Don't become another rescue statistic. Ask yourself three questions before you set off:

  1. Am I confident I have the knowledge and skills for the day?
  2. Do I know what the weather will be like? Visit Weatherline.
  3. Do I have the right gear?

Visit Climbing Scafell Pike on the National Trust website for route information.
