Perhaps not one for the faint-hearted, as this almost-path looked more like a steep, rocky scramble.We would unfortunately need to lose some height (100m, at a guess), moving almost right down to the “corridor route”, but at least we would steer clear of the really busy section. Apparently they had taken so many photos their phones had all but run out of juice! A couple of minutes and many boulders later, we were atop Broad Crag, having missed the entire flood of visitors making a similar, yet more protracted ascent to the top of Scafell Pike.From here a myriad of possibilities were open to us, but we had already decided where to aim for next: our highest peak of the day, a mere metre higher than Broad Crag.

The large summit plateau contains some of the last rock-free ground to be encountered by the walker heading for Scafell Pike from Esk Hause and so the fell is fondly remembered (at least by me) later in the walk when boulders have taken over.Despite being so close to popular routes Ill Crag lacks any clear path to its summit. Both run in the.To the north Greta Gill runs across the northern face of the fell, again acting as the boundary with Great End.A number of small becks rise on the slopes of Ill Crag, with the longest running south to join the Esk at the same place as Little Narrowcove beck.Ill Crag and Broad Crag are probably the two fells that see the most people pass within a short distance of the summit without actually coming to the top. Looking to the north we saw Kirk Fell, Great Gable, Green Gable and Base Brown, and to the south east Sca Fell, Scafell Pike, Broad Crag and Great End were all close at hand.
