Getting here Parking: Wasdale Head village green car park (free), 0.0 km from the start (straight line). Getting there ↓ · Route map ↓

Hardest part Severe steepness: Steepest sustained descent about 47% around the 13.8 km mark. Graded scramble: Stirrup Crag, at Yewbarrow's north end (km 11.8–12.1).

Before you choose

The ground here is broad and confusingly similar, and the path forks on the ascent of Red Pike; walkers have taken the wrong line in mist. The link between Red Pike, Little Scoat Fell and Pillar is easy to misjudge. Navigate deliberately by compass and account for the steep drops to the east.
Scoat Fell (Little Scoat Fell): The short ridge out to Steeple is narrow and exposed, with a steep drop, and becomes serious when banked with snow or iced. Cross it carefully and avoid it in fierce wind; it is the spot most likely to catch you out here.
Steeple: The link to the main ridge is a short, narrow crest with steep, rocky drops on both sides. A fall here can be fatal. It is straightforward in dry, calm conditions but genuinely exposed; take care with foot placement, and treat it with great caution in wind, wet or cloud.
Red Pike (Wasdale): The summit and the ridge northward run along the lip of steep crags dropping into Mosedale. In wind or cloud a slip near the edge is serious. Keep to the western side of the crest and well back from the brink.
Yewbarrow: The north end drops in a steep set of ledges and chimneys — a genuine scramble that catches people out, especially as a descent. Walkers regularly become cragfast here unable to climb down, and falls have caused head and leg injuries. Tackle it only if you are comfortable scrambling on steep rock; if in doubt, avoid the traverse and return the way you came.
The steep scree slope off Dore Head (toward Mosedale) is severely eroded, loose and unpleasant — once a scree run, now a notorious leg-breaker. The steep ground beside it has left walkers cragfast. Avoid it as a descent; safer ground exists, and the screes are best left alone.

The walk, stage by stage

1
Start → Pillar (6.4 km, 827 m)
Climb of about 827 m over 6.4 km (around 13% average).
Follow the well-trodden path up the length of Mosedale, climbing steadily to Black Sail Pass. From the hause, turn sharply west up the long eastern ridge of Pillar, over a succession of false summits and rocky steps, to the flat, stony summit plateau.
Waypoints
Wasdale Head, Mosedale valley path, Gatherstone Beck, Black Sail Pass (545m), Looking Stead, Pillar summit (892m).
Decision point
The Mosedale valley funnels you all the way to Black Sail Pass. Once on the ridge, an intermittent line of old fence posts and a well-cairned path guide the way up the broad shoulder to Pillar's summit trig point.
Easy to get wrong
The Mosedale valley is notoriously boggy and can feel like a slog even in dry conditions. The pull from Black Sail Pass up Pillar is long and relentless; the upper slopes are covered in rocks and scree, hard on the calves. Pillar Rock is a serious climbers' crag, reached by the exposed Shamrock Traverse — not a walking objective.
If you need to get off
From Black Sail Pass, you can turn around and drop back down into Mosedale to return to Wasdale Head. If you are halfway up Pillar and conditions deteriorate, retrace your steps eastwards back down the ridge to the pass; do not drop north or south off Pillar's steep flanks.
2
Pillar → Black Crag (0.8 km, 60 m)
Descent of about 127 m, then a climb of about 60 m, over 0.8 km.
Leave the summit of Pillar and head south-west, dropping steeply down a loose, deeply eroded path to the saddle of Wind Gap. From there, a short, sharp, rocky pull leads up the other side to the minor summit of Black Crag.
Waypoints
Pillar summit plateau, Wind Gap (about 760m), Black Crag summit.
Decision point
Wind Gap is the obvious, deep notch on the ridge ahead. Descending in clag, keep the steep drops into the Mosedale basin to your left (east) and do not stray towards the Ennerdale side on your right.
Easy to get wrong
The descent into Wind Gap is notoriously unpleasant: heavily eroded, covered in loose scree, and a wind tunnel in gales. Footing is treacherous, and a slip means a painful slide over jagged rocks.
If you need to get off
Wind Gap offers a steep, rough scree-run escape route eastwards down into Mosedale. It is hard on the knees but will get you off the ridge quickly in a severe storm, rejoining the valley path back to Wasdale Head.
3
Black Crag → Scoat Fell (Little Scoat Fell) (0.8 km, 38 m)
Undulating section of about 0.8 km.
Continue south-west along the high ridge, over a fairly flat but very stony plateau. The route skirts the top of the Mosedale crags before arriving at the broad, featureless summit of Scoat Fell.
Waypoints
Black Crag, Mosedale rim, Scoat Fell summit (841m).
Decision point
A dilapidated drystone wall runs right across the plateau of Scoat Fell, on your left (south) as you walk west. The crags above Ennerdale are close on your right (north): keep well back from them. The wall acts as an excellent handrail in whiteout conditions.
Easy to get wrong
The gradient is forgiving, but the ground underfoot is a jumble of stones and boulders that needs constant attention. The sheer southern edge of this ridge plunges vertically into Mosedale; massive cornices build over this edge in winter, making it a fatal hazard.
If you need to get off
Do not try to descend directly into Mosedale from this section: the crags are sheer. In an emergency, your best bet is to push on to Scoat Fell and navigate westwards down the gentler slopes towards Nether Beck, though this leaves you in a different valley.
4
Scoat Fell (Little Scoat Fell) → Steeple (0.4 km, 6 m)
Descent of about 42 m over 0.4 km.
Leave the main ridge and head north-west across the narrow, rocky arête, along the crest to the sharp summit of Steeple.
Waypoints
Scoat Fell wall junction, the arête, Steeple summit (819m).
Decision point
The ridge line out to Steeple is distinct and easy to follow in good weather. In heavy clag, take a precise back-bearing from Steeple to hit the Scoat Fell wall where you left it.
Easy to get wrong
This is a short but highly exposed out-and-back spur, with steep, committing drops on both sides into Ennerdale. It is not a technical scramble, but high winds can make this narrow crossing intimidating and dangerous.
If you need to get off
If the wind is howling or the exposure feels too great, leave out this short spur: stay on the broad ground of Scoat Fell and continue towards Red Pike.
5
Steeple → Red Pike (Wasdale) (1.5 km, 95 m)
Climb of about 95 m over 1.5 km (around 6% average).
Retrace the narrow arête back to Scoat Fell, then turn south-east to follow the rim of the horseshoe. The path traces the very edge of the escarpment over grassy and stony ground to top out on the prominent summit of Red Pike.
Waypoints
Scoat Fell plateau, Mosedale rim, Red Pike (Wasdale) summit (826m).
Decision point
Follow the line of the escarpment edge, keeping a safe distance. The path is worn into the reddish rock and scree that gives Red Pike its name, and leads to the summit cairn.
Easy to get wrong
The walking is fairly straightforward, but the continuous vertical drops to your left (east) demand respect. The summit of Red Pike is perched on the edge of the crags, and the stony plateau can be disorientating in thick mist. The arête between Steeple and Little Scoat Fell is a short, narrow crest with steep, rocky drops on both sides.
If you need to get off
Do not bail east into Mosedale from here. To get off the high fells quickly, reverse your course slightly and navigate west down the grassy slopes towards Scoat Tarn and Nether Beck; it is a long walk-out back to Wasdale by the valley road.
6
Red Pike (Wasdale) → Yewbarrow North Top (Stirrup Crag) (2.2 km, 138 m)
Descent of about 338 m, then a climb of about 138 m, over 2.2 km.
Drop steeply from Red Pike down the badly eroded, loose path to the deep saddle at Dore Head. From the col, tackle the hands-on scramble directly up the near-vertical face of Stirrup Crag to top out on the northern prow of Yewbarrow.
Waypoints
Red Pike descent ridge, Dore Head (col, 475m), Stirrup Crag, Yewbarrow North Top (617m).
Decision point
The cleft of Dore Head is the obvious low point ahead. On Stirrup Crag, follow the polished rock and crampon scratches, which generally indicate the most established lines of ascent through the crag bands.
Easy to get wrong
The descent to Dore Head is notoriously steep and choked with shifting scree, demanding slow, deliberate footwork. The ascent of Stirrup Crag that follows is a severe, exposed Grade 1 scramble; the rock can be treacherously greasy when wet, and it needs confident hands and feet over significant drops.
If you need to get off
At Dore Head you can turn right (west) and follow the path down Over Beck to Overbeck Bridge, then the valley road back to Wasdale Head; do not commit to Stirrup Crag if the scramble looks beyond you or the rock is wet. Do not descend the Dore Head Screes into Mosedale: the safety notes on this page say to avoid them as a descent. If you cannot move safely, call 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.
7
Yewbarrow North Top (Stirrup Crag) → Yewbarrow (0.8 km, 38 m)
Undulating section of about 0.8 km.
From the top of Stirrup Crag, walk south along the undulating spine of Yewbarrow. The path weaves through rocky outcrops and over minor dips, keeping to the crest all the way to the true summit.
Waypoints
Yewbarrow North Top, central ridge line, Yewbarrow summit (629m).
Decision point
The ridge is narrow and linear, so navigation is straightforward even in poor visibility. Stick to the highest ground and follow the worn path through the rocks southwards.
Easy to get wrong
This is an airy traverse, but the ground is rocky and uneven and needs constant concentration. The ridge is exposed to wind from every direction, and small rock steps along the crest need some down-scrambling.
If you need to get off
Once you are on the ridge of Yewbarrow, you are committed. The flanks on both the Overbeck (west) and Wasdale (east) sides are very steep, craggy, and covered in deep bracken or scree. Do not bail off the sides; continue along the ridge to the descent path.
Yewbarrow → Finish (4.8 km, 34 m)
Descent of about 545 m over 4.8 km.
Continue south from the summit, then begin the notoriously steep and rough descent off the southern nose of Yewbarrow. Pick your way carefully down the craggy steps near Bell Rib, dropping down the loose gullies past Dropping Crag to the valley floor at Overbeck Bridge. From there it is about 2.7 km north-east along the valley road beside Wast Water back to Wasdale Head.
Waypoints
Yewbarrow southern ridge, Great Door / Bell Rib descent, Overbeck bridge, Wasdale Head road, Finish point.
Decision point
On the descent, stick to the established path threading between the crags; straying too far left or right quickly leads to impassable cliffs. Once on the valley floor, the valley road runs beside Wast Water back to Wasdale Head. It carries traffic: keep to the verge.
Easy to get wrong
The descent off the southern end of Yewbarrow is often underestimated: it is very steep, with loose rock and some minor down-scrambling. Legs will be tired by now, and the steep drops are hard on the knees and test concentration to the very end.
If you need to get off
This descent is the way off. Going back north over Stirrup Crag means the scramble in descent that this route is built to avoid. Take it slowly, use poles if you have them, and in cloud check your line between the crag bands before committing to a gully. If you cannot move safely, stop somewhere sheltered and call 999 or 112 and ask for the Police, then Mountain Rescue.

In the order you walk them — the same numbers the elevation profile, the stage notes and the pacing table use.

Keep to the built line. The notes on this route mention eroded or braided ground. Where it is mud or standing water, walk through the puddle rather than round it, stay on the pitched stone even where it is a staircase you would rather not use, take the zig-zags the long way, leave loose stones and cross-drains where they lie, and build no cairns. Deep or moving water is a different question — turn back or take the safest way past rather than wade for the sake of a path. Fix the Fells’ volunteers keep these paths: what a metre costs, and how to give a day or a few pounds.

Check live conditions in the “From the fells” panel, on MWIS (opens in new tab) and the Met Office mountain forecast (opens in new tab) before you set off.

When the sun reaches the tops

Not sunrise — the moment the sun clears the skyline from that summit, which on a fell with high ground to its east can be a good deal later.

Pillar — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
Scoat Fell (Little Scoat Fell) — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
Steeple — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00.
Red Pike (Wasdale) — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:15, with the sunrise. In late September, about 07:00. It waits longest in late December — about a quarter of an hour after sunrise.
Yewbarrow — in late March the sun reaches it around 06:30, about a quarter of an hour later. In late September, about 07:15. It waits longest in midsummer — about a quarter of an hour after sunrise. In late December, not until about 08:45.

How to read these times

The two equinoxes are shown because they fall in the walking season, and late December too wherever a top keeps you waiting then; the clock gap between the equinoxes is British Summer Time, not the hill. Rounded to the nearest quarter hour and meant as a general idea, not a schedule.

Treat water from the fell before you drink it. A mapped point is not proof the water is drinkable, so carry your own or use a supply you know is safe. Never drink untreated from a beck, stream or tarn — even clear-looking hill water can carry giardia or cryptosporidium from livestock upstream and leave you seriously ill. Use a treatment method suited to what might be in the water, and follow the device’s own instructions. Boiling and ordinary filters do not make water with dissolved metals or chemicals safe: where that is possible, choose another source.

Buggy: Stiles or rough going on the route.
Knees: A long, steep ~55% drop over 250 m around the 13.8 km mark — hard on the knees.

With a dog

Hardest for a dog here: rock and scrambling. The steepest stretch is a sustained descent of about 47% around the 13.8 km mark.

Rock and scrambling: Graded scramble: Stirrup Crag, at Yewbarrow's north end (km 11.8–12.1). Ground underfoot: Hard – our judgement from the map and the route’s record; not walked yet.
Drops and exposed ground: Hard – our judgement from the map and the route’s record; not walked yet.
Stiles and gates: A stile of unmapped type at 1.1 km — a dog may need lifting over. (OpenStreetMap, mapped as of 25 September 2026)
Ways off early: None recorded for this route.
Livestock, shade and water: Not recorded for this route yet. We never call a stream safe for a dog to drink, so carry enough for both of you. The lead rules, and what to do around cattle, are on dogs on the fells.
