Description: Pavey Ark, the largest cliff in the Langdales, facing east over Stickle Tarn. The main face is a little over a quarter of a mile across and drops about 400 ft. To the south west it merges into the crags of Harrison Stickle, while the northern end peters out into the valley of Bright Beck. Stickle Tarn is wholly within the territory of the Ark, a corrie tarn which has been dammed to create additional capacity. The stone faced barage shown to the left is low enough not to spoil the character of the pool, and the water is used for public consumption in the hotels and homes below. The tarn has a depth of around 50 ft. Jack's Rake, a Grade 1 scramble up the cliff face, can be traced from lower right to upper left. Two pairs of rock climbers can seen ascending a more challenging route, and a pair of walkers stand at the summit.
