It forms part of the Scafell chain, and lies about 0.5 kilometres (0.3 mi) northeast of Scafell Pike. Ill Crag lies south east, with Great End at the end of the chain being about 1.5 kilometres (0.9 mi) away.
Broad Crag may be climbed en route to Scafell Pike, via a path from Esk Hause or from the route from Crinkle Crags and Bowfell.
Broad Crag is one of very few fells in the lake District not to be given a separate chapter in Alfred Wainwright's celebrated guide books. It therefore does not qualify as a Wainwright, though it is a Hewitt and a Nuttall
Also this fell has fair evidence of being classed as a Fell because it is listed on official fell listings, http://www.leaney.org/lake_district_fells_listings.php
http://www.thelakedistrictmountains.org/Links%20etc/fellslist2000ft.+.htm Both websites lists Broad Crag as a fell
