Mickledore

Broad Stand is a steep buttress wall requiring sequential bouldering moves, which have been described as anything from scrambling to rock climbing.

It is described as 'extremely dangerous' by Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team,[1] and the climb is "Difficult" in the British grading system.

"Indeed, it stands up with pinnacles and buttresses so high, and flanking precipice's so deep, and even in places overhanging, that here, if anywhere in these mountains, one can get the impression of size and awesomeness.

[4]The walker seeking a safe route between England's highest mountains must go via Foxes Tarn, which involves a descent to 680 metres (2,230 ft) or so below the height of the ridge.

The more challenging routes of Lord's Rake, and the West Wall Traverse, offer alternative ways to reach Scafell.
