Guide to 106 scrambling routes in the south of the English Lake District, covering Langdale, Coniston, Eskdale, Patterdale & High Street. A comprehensive collection of scrambles on crags and gills, which are linked together to form 24 first-class mountain days. The carefully graded routes range from scrambling grade 1 to climbing grade V Diff, so there is something for beginners as well as veteran mountaineers. Rock climbing equipment is needed for more difficult routes.
Each scramble is clearly described with notes about grade, quality, aspect and approach, with colour maps and topos to aid navigation. There is information on safety and equipment, and listings of scrambles by location and grade allow the reader to assemble their own tailor-made combination of routes.
The Lake District is one of the most scenic areas in the world and this guide offers new routes in previously unexplored corners of the region alongside popular classics such as Jacks Rake, Esk Gorge and Pinnacle Ridge, as well as dramatic gills like Dungeon and Linkcove Gill. 10 classic rock climbs are also presented including Giants Crawl, Middlefell Buttress and Crescent Climb.

John Fleetwood has lived in the Lake District for over 20 years, and has developed an intimate knowledge of the area. John loves exploring and has visited every potential crag in the area to find new routes, some of which have been included in this guide. He is a keen runner, photographer and mountaineer. He was the first person to complete the Bob Graham, Ramsay and Paddy Buckley rounds in winter, and a previous winner of the FRA Long Distance Award. He has climbed and walked in South America, China, Iceland, Norway and the European Alps as well as Britain.
