Description

Scafell Pike is the highest peak in England (978m) and is located in the beautiful Lake District National Park. An area abound with mountain views, lakes and lush green valleys, an ascent to Scafell Pike is truly a feast for the eyes.

A minimum of 4 people is required for the trip and whether that’s a family, a work team or a group of friends, all are welcome. Whatever your dynamic, I’m excited to share this wonderful day out with you.

I have an intimate knowledge of the area and will inform you of where we are, give details of the environment and its history and point out the notable landmarks to really immerse you in your surroundings.

If you are doing the 3 peaks challenge of the Lake District (where you ascend the three highest peaks of Skiddaw, Helvellyn, and Scafell Pike-all over 3000ft), you may feel that the experience of a seasoned mountain guide is a definite advantage. Sign up and I’ll be happy to guide you on the best routes with the most breathtaking views.

The trip is open to beginners but you should feel comfortable walking between 5-9 hours often at an incline. You will need to carry a backpack and be prepared for adverse weather conditions.

After ascending Scafell Pike hundreds of times and in all weather conditions, I am still enamoured by this ascend and would love the opportunity to share this gift of nature with you.

Sign up now and I will be waiting to lead you safely up and down the mountain in this wonderful day of exercise on England’s premier mountain.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
