Pike of Stickle rises to 708 m (2,323 ft) at the western end of the Langdale Pikes, above Mickleden. It is a Wainwright, Hewitt, Nuttall and Birkett, with 55 m of prominence. Its steep, domed summit cone stands out from the valley. Harrison Stickle, the nearest higher fell, is 0.8 km to the east, and Loft Crag 0.4 km to the south-east.
You reach it from the plateau behind the Langdale Pikes, coming from Harrison Stickle or Loft Crag, or from Stake Pass to the north. The final climb to the top is a short scramble on rock. From the New Dungeon Ghyll, you can climb by Dungeon Ghyll to the col between Loft Crag and the summit cone.
The scree gully on the south face held a Neolithic stone axe factory, and archaeologists have found axes from here across Britain. The gully is loose and eroded, so do not use it for ascent or descent.
