Harrison Stickle

Harrison Stickle is a mountain summit in the Lake District that rises to 736 meters and features steep rocky slopes forming a prominent peak. The fell stands out clearly among the surrounding mountains of the region.

The mountain was documented by Alfred Wainwright in his Lake District guides during the 1950s, which led to its classification as a Wainwright fell. This recognition brought the peak into the wider awareness of hikers and climbers exploring the region.

The peak sits in an area where walkers regularly pass through, noting the stone cairn at the top that marks centuries of visitor journeys to this spot.

The summit is accessible via marked hiking trails starting from Ambleside, with the best walking season running from March through November. During these months the trails are more manageable and conditions are favourable for visitors.

A rock formation sits about 6 meters south-southeast of the main cairn, serving as a natural marker for those navigating the summit. This feature is often passed without notice but helps visitors get their bearings at the peak.
