If you’re looking for an unforgettable day scrambling in the Lake District, this route offers a fantastic challenge for those ready to test their skills. With expert guidance, you'll tackle an iconic line while building confidence and enjoying the adventure without the stress of navigating it yourself.
This guided scramble is perfect for anyone wanting to take on a classic Lake District ridge. Pinnacle Ridge provides plenty of variety, with steep rock sections, hands-on climbing, and incredible ridge-line movement. The direct route, graded at 3, includes tackling all the main pinnacles, offering a mini-Alpine feel. For those seeking an easier approach, variations can bypass some of the trickier moves without losing the essence of the route.
The key feature of the day is the ‘corner pitch’, a highlight climb leading to the main pinnacle. With bags of character and incredible positions, it’s a rewarding challenge for any scrambler. By the end of the route, you’ll have gained new skills, improved your movement, and enjoyed a true classic in the hills. Your instructor will be there every step of the way to offer guidance, technical support, and rope security where needed.
The activity takes place in the stunning Lake District, specifically on St Sunday Crag, where Pinnacle Ridge offers one of the most iconic scrambles in the area.
The route combines amazing views with a challenging ascent, making it a must-do for hillwalkers and scramblers ready for a more hands-on adventure.
Some scrambling experience is helpful but not essential. As long as you’re confident, have a good level of fitness, and a willingness to give it a go, this scramble can be achieved.
