Pavey Ark

Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAV : Pavey Ark

Pavey Ark is a mountain in the English county of Cumbria. It is one of the Langdale Pikes, lying to the north of Langdale, in the heart of the Lake District.

Pavey Ark is most often climbed from the New Dungeon Ghyll, a hotel located some 2 km to the south. The route follows a beck (stream) up to Stickle Tarn. From there a choice of routes are available; one of the most popular is to follow a diagonal slit on Pavey Ark's craggy southern face. This route is known as Jack's Rake, and requires scrambling. Alternative, easier, routes can be had by coming up on either side of the main crag.

From the shores of Stickle Tarn, Pavey Ark gives the impression of being a rocky ridge - in fact this is misleading, and the northern side is simply an undulating area of moorland.
