These mountains are not so high. The Landell pike is about 736 meters (2415 feet). It takes about five or six hours to pass the Pave Arc, Harrison Stickle and descend to the valley below. The total distance is 12 km. At these twelve meters, there are several very steep slopes of about 150 meters. These are a little hard to climb.
Throughout this journey a you can see a beautiful stream flows down. You have to cross it in one place jumping over big rocks. There is a place where the water falls hard. If the foot slips,you will fell down to the stream.
The lovely stream starts from the lake above. It took us almost six and a half hours because I was climbing down little slower. But from the top of the mountain, you can see the beautiful valley below.
Height Gained – 730 metres , Distance – 12 km, Time –5 hours
The Langdale Pikes form the unmistakable skyline of Langdale and a walk along the Wainwrights of Pavey Ark, Harrison Stickle, Thorn Crag, Loft Crag and Pike of Stickle is a must do excursion for any fell walker visiting this valley.
