Hiking

Eagle Crag is a Wainwright fell in the Central Lake District. From nearby Castle Crag, its profile looks a bit like a gorilla's face (if you squint!) The view down to Stonethwaite in the Borrowdale Valley from the slabbed summit of this fell is what I find the most special.

Great photo opportunities and an exciting climb.

This is a real rocky fortress this is. I should have come up it instead of down climbing it on a wet day but I wanted to do my route clockwise. Had a very interesting downclimb though, quite exposed grade 2 scramble on wet rock and turf. A thoroughly imposing mountain. Loved it.
