Looking back to Steeple from the ridge to Scoat Fell
Steeple lives up to it's name: there is hardly any room to stand on it's summit let alone room for a cairn. It is connected to it's slightly higher neighbour Scoat Fell by a rough and narrow ridge but due to the drop between them is considered a fell in it's own right.
It is usually climbed from Ennerdale along with some of it's neighbours: Scoat Fell, Pillar, Haycock.
