Mark Hazelton climbed on April 25th, 2021 [from/via/route] Walked Dungeon Ghyll Hotel car park via Stickle tarn, Pavey Ark then Harrison Stickle and back via Dungheon Ghyll path.

Kevin Foster hiked on September 29th, 2020 [from/via/route] Stickle Ghyll car park. [with] By myself. [weather] Sunny with light cool breeze (perfect conditions). - Steep ascents and descents were the order of the day with plenty of scrambling fun in between. None more so than on Jack's Rake a grade 1 scramble up the face of Pavey Ark. Only the first 70 metres or so are tricky and the exposure is minimal as you feel protected by the rock groove you are climbing in. Amazing views on the climb up and from the summit which has no cairn.
