Scar Crags

Overview

Height:	2,205 Feet - 672 Metres
Grid Ref:	NY 208 206
Area:	North Western
Ordnance Survey:	OL5
Wainwright Guidebook:	Six
	Scar Crags is invariably reached by the ridge from Sail or Causey Pike, but on excellent direct route is provided by a well graded mine road alongside Stonycroft Gill. This 'road' (made for light railway but now exclusive to walkers) is the one good thing to result from the ill starred cobalt mine.
