This slightly circuitous route to England’s sixth summit is offered as an alternative to the well-pummelled superhighway of the Band. Despite the rather melodramatic name, you could actually do most of this route with hands in pockets; the Traverse takes you beneath some spectacular crags but requires no particular head for heights. In the description, I've assumed you treat Hell Gill as a walk, but grade 1 scrambling opportunities are close at hand in hot weather. Rossett Pike is offered as a bonus on the descent, if only to avoid the descent of Rossett Ghyll.
