Today we took a great final hike up the Langdale Pikes (familiar territory), but added an extra leg up Jack's Rake. Rob has been eyeing this particular climb for quite awhile, but Wendy was a tad bit nervous that she wouldn't be able to step up to the task. It is a rather steep ascent up the side of a rocky crag, and you are pretty exposed to a drop most of the way. Although it looked rather intimidating, it proved to be easier than expected, and SO much fun!!! This was just the perfect final day of hiking in the Lake District. These past two months have been just magical, and we can't wait to come back and visit our mountains and lakes in the very near future.
THe red line up the side of the crag is the path of the actual climb.
