SCAFELL AND SCAFELL PIKE.
Scafell Pike is the highest peak in the Lake district, and at one time was thought by many the highest in England. It rises to the height of 3,210 feet, and its twin peak Scafell is only a little less, 3162 feet. The two are connected by a knife-like ridge known as Mickledore, quite easy to walk upon, but the descent on both sides of which is appalling. The view here given is taken from the head of Wastwater. That from the top of either of these fells is not so fine as might be expected; but the mountains themselves are as majestically wild and grand as anything in Great Britain. The more difficult and dangerous modes of ascent, up clefts in the precipices of Mickledore, are favourite preliminary practice among Alpine climbers, but too dangerous for the inexperienced to attempt. Other ascents are safe, but very fatiguing.
