Eskdale has some of the best climbing in the Lakes, with access to Scafell and all the surounding crags. Also the valley has several fast drying crags, including Hare Crag which has some excellent bouldering, as does Fell End just above Fisherground. Linbeck crag has many routes on sound rock and is near the road. In a good winter Eskdale provides well for the mountaineer with grade 3 ice forming on several waterfalls. The gullies and buttresses of Scafell and The Pike are within easy walking distance, and Wasdale is only 20 minutes drive from Eskdale Green.
