Pavey Ark rises to 702 m (2,303 ft) above Stickle Tarn in the Langdale Pikes. It is a Wainwright, Nuttall and Birkett, with 16 m of prominence. Its south-east face is a wall of crag rising straight from the tarn. Thunacar Knott, the nearest higher top, lies 0.5 km to the west, and Harrison Stickle 0.6 km to the south-west.
From the New Dungeon Ghyll, you climb the pitched path beside Stickle Ghyll to Stickle Tarn. Walkers then go round the east side of the tarn and climb North Rake, a grassy gully that gives an easy way to the top. Jack's Rake slants up across the crag face from bottom right to top left. It is a scramble with exposure in places, and it turns slippery after rain.
The summit is a rocky top behind the crag edge, with a stone wall crossing it. From the edge you look down on Stickle Tarn and across to Harrison Stickle.
