Esk Pike

Overview

Height:	2,903 Feet - 885 Metres
Grid Ref:	NY 237 075
Area:	Southern
Ordnance Survey:	OL6
Wainwright Guidebook:	Four
	The outstanding feature is a lengthy south ridge, bounded by the River Esk westwards, and to the east, by Yeastyrigg Gill and Lingcove Beck: a ridge with many abrupt crags. Did it but stand alone, away from such enticing neighbours, Esk Pike would rank highly among the really worth while mountain climbs.
