Jack's Rake on Pavey Ark - one of the Langdale Pikes, in the Lake District, Cumbria. This is a scramble rather than a footpath. In Book 3*, Wainwright classifies it as an easy rock climb and 'just about the limit that the ordinary common garden or fell walker (AW's word order) reasonably may be expected to attempt.'
'Although the Rake climbs high across the face of a fearful precipice, there is curiously little sense of exposure, for a comforting parapet of rock accompanies all the steeper parts of ascent.'
* Wainwright, A. 1958. A Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells, Book Three, The Central Fells . Westmorland Gazette, Kendal.
