Could someone put in a link to maps. Also, a link to Scafell Pike maybe be a good idea! Thanks!

Grid reference in the mountain box links to various mapping resources. There's a link to Scafell Pike in the first paragraph. Hope this helps. Bobble Hat 20:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] imagemap

Hi, I see you have the annoated picture in the infobox. There is an imagemap below, but it does not look great in an ifobox. However if the two pictures were switched on the page ?? Only a suggestion. Keep up good work Victuallers 09:10, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Geology section

I've removed the geology section recently added by an anonymous contributor, which was copied from here. My (admittedly very limited) knowledge of Lakeland geology leads me to believe that the "Scafell caldera volcano" covered the whole of the Scafell-Gable-Langdale massif, and the Scafell appelation is applied merely for convenience; therefore it's highly misleading to state that "Sca Fell is a caldera volcano" and apply this paragraph solely to one mountain. Any section on geology in this article ought to be the fruit of a little more research than simply copying the publicity blurb for a lecture. --Blisco (talk) 10:48, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake in image map

The image map mistakenly linked from Esk Crag to Esk Pike (which is out of the photo to the right). I've fixed it now but for future reference, Esk Buttress or Esk Crag is the name given by rock climbers to the cliffs on the Eskdale side of Scafell Pike, between Mickledore and Narrowcove (see for example the guidebook Scafell, Wasdale, and Eskdale by A. Phizacklea). The Ordnance Survey does not use this name; the name "Dow Crag" appearing on the 1:25000 Outdoor Leisure Map 6. (This name would be too confusing if used by rock climbers, because of the better known Dow Crag in the Coniston Fells.) Gdr 00:13, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
