| Seferix | All Seasons  Date Climbed: May 9, 2012 | |
| This was my forth ascent of Englands Highest. Starting at Eskdale - Climbed it three from Wasdale via longer different routes but many more to try out! Would highly recommend the start in Boot and following Eskdale up the valley and scrambling along CamSpout Crag. Climbed the mountain in all seasons - lovely to do in winter! | |

| Better done early doors or out of season if you like to be alone on the hill. | |

| Andrew Rankine | Rainy as hell Date Climbed: Jul 2, 2012 | |
| A bit of a long day, and it rained so hard that I got completely drenched through my softshell pants and rain jacket, and the water running down my legs soaked my mountaineering boots (only pair of boots I had on the trip). | |

| rgg | The last peak on a long day Date Climbed: May 21, 2012 | |
| I had camped at Red Tarn and started the day hiking up and over Crinkle Crags, and followed the ridge all the way to Scafell Pike. I descended in the direction of Lingmell, and ended up camping at around 550m, not far from the normal route up Scafell Pike. There were plenty of small streams around with good water, higher up too, but finding a flat spot that wasn't boggy took a bit of searching. Where I ended up, I had beautiful views of the west face of Scafell Pike and the north face of Scafell as the sun went down. | |

| markhallam | With Jake the Dog Date Climbed: May 5, 2008 | |
| Did a long day with Jake, 5 year old golden retriever, over Great & Green Gables then round and up Scafell Pike before long descent back to Borrowdale. Jake didn't like the rocks on top of Scafell and got very hot - aided by the odd stream we found. But he was so tired at the end, I nearly had to cock his leg for him. | |

| seanpeckham | from Seatoller Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2010 | |
| From Seatoller bus stop via Corridor Route. Foggy and crowded on top, but was an amazing and beautiful hike. Everyone was all decked out for mountaineering, and it's just a trail. We each had running shoes, an extra long-sleeve shirt, snack food, and a rain jacket. | |

| Gatesy | Corridor - Summit - Esk Hause Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2010 | |
| Started from Seathwaite and the Stockely Bridge, before ascending via Styhead Tarn and the Corridor Route. Descended via the plateau between Broad Crag & Ill Crag, before rounding Great End and proceeding down the Esk Hause col. However, neither these peaks, nor an ascent of Scafell made due to illness in a member of our party. Glorious weather, stunning views and popular but not overcrowded. | |

| kamil | Scafell + Scafell Pike Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2002 | |
| With my Irish mate Colm. Lord's Rake - Scafell - Broad Stand - Scafell Pike. Broad Stand ropeless downclimb a wee bit scary on wet rock but fun. Pints were had at Wasdale Head where we also camped the night. | |

| Joseph Claghorn | Wasdale Head Date Climbed: Jul 30, 2009 | |
| Did a circular route going up Lingmell Beck, and coming back down Lingmell Gill in late afternoon. The weather was partly to mostly cloudy with fast moving clouds at about 900m, which made for some very dramactic light. Unfortunately the pub in Wasdale head stopped serving dinner right when I got back at 8:30pm | |

| APennineMan | First time vile, second time unforgettable. | |
| Climbed it twice to far. Both via the Corridor Route from Sprinklng Tarn or Borrowdale. First time was an ordeal in heavy rain and fatigue from a sleepless night. Did it in glorious sunshine the second time round. A fitting crown to England, every inch a mountain. Head to the superior Ill or Broad crag to linger in solitude and escape the crowds. | |
