Approach notes
Best approached from Wasdale in about an hours uphill grind.
| I replaced the ab tat at the mickledore ab point today (10.11.15). Cut away 9 thin pieces and replaced them with 11mm black static and a mallion Dervey - 10/Sep/15 |

| The traditional descent is via Broad Stand, but another option - not mentioned in the guidebook - is a short ab from tat just up and left (looking out) from BS. Much better than the lethal descent, or long walk via Foxes Tarn... Richard Alderton - 15/Jul/13 |
