Angeline Grieveson walked up Scar Crags on January 7th, 2023 [with] Dotty

Richard Fulcher climbed Scar Crags on September 29th, 2022 [from/via/route] Parked in the small quarry car park on the left near the start of the Whinlatter Pass after passing through Braithwaite. The path up to Grisedale Pike leaves from this car park & wends up & around the hills up to the peak - a fairly continuous climb with the craggiest part near the top. From Grisedale we headed across to Hobcarton Crag, veering off to the left down to Coledale Hause & then approached Crag Hill from the back near Wandope Moss. From Crag Hill we worked our way down & across to Sail the along the ridge to Scar Crags & Causey Pike. We reversed from CP & traversed across to the main path at High Moss. I then climbed up Outerside & slipped & slid down the wet rocks to Low Moss (very tricky after rain) & eventually met up with Jen at Barrow Door. I declined Barrow as I'd had enough! One for another day! We returned down the easy path that gently slopes down the side of Barrow. [with] Jen [weather] Sunshine & showers, occasional gusts of wind. - A tiring but rewarding walk.

David Butterfield bagged Scar Crags on July 8th, 2022 [from/via/route] Uzzicar [with] Nigel [weather] Cloudy

Claire Murray hiked Scar Crags on May 1st, 2022 [from/via/route] Causey Pike & Scar Crags [with] Vitor

Pete George summited Scar Crags on May 29th, 2022 [from/via/route] Braithwaite [with] Roco [weather] Cool but clear

Chris Sheard conquered Scar Crags on May 18th, 2022 [from/via/route] Along from Causey pike along ridge [with] George [weather] Pleasant at ground level, no rain brightened later later with sunshine as we completed the round - Made this ascent as part of a nice circular coming down the other side of a horse shoe

Richard Marchant scaled Scar Crags on March 12th, 2022 [with] On my own

Christine Shepherd walked up Scar Crags on June 2nd, 2010 [from/via/route] Walked from Braithwaite using walk c299 Climbed again on 22.06.19 as part of the 10 in 10 challenge. Repeated walk c299 again on 15.09.2021 [with] On my own [weather] Very hot & sunny

Richard Beardsley climbed Scar Crags on July 14th, 2021 [from/via/route] Dropped off & started route at 0800 hrs from Braithwaite. Route C299. (Barrow, Stile end, Outerside, Sail. Scar Crags & Causey Pike). [with] Myself. [weather] Warm & sunny day. A short spell of low cloud around Sail. - A shorter Coledale Round starting at Braithwaite. An accurate route description which was followed. The only deviation was to include Sail on the easy to follow zig - zag path from the col between Sail & Scar Crags. The steep descent from Causey Pike was interesting so easy does it is the best way. Time took 5 & 1/2 hrs.

Richard Marshall bagged Scar Crags on June 30th, 2021 [from/via/route] Grisedale & Causey [with] Dave Elsie & Rocxy [weather] Sunny warm
