Bow Fell and the Great Slab Taken from near Rossett Pike. I suspect that the party ascended the rough path on the right. The slab is just left of centre.

Bow Fell from Shelter Crags The route along the ridge from Crinkle Crags to Bow Fell was a popular one, as evidenced by the scar of the path on the right. It remains so: it is an obvious round from the Langdale valley.

The 'Bad Step' on Crinkle Crags It is interesting to see that this route was already badly eroded back in 1965. Competent scramblers will take a route immediately right of the chockstone. There is clearly an easier route to the right of the huge central slab. But mere hillwalkers, as I am, used a path on the left, out of shot.
