"Loft Crag certainly has qualifying characteristics of the Langdale Pikes. It lies between Pike O'Stickle and Harrison Stickle but south of them, having a small abrupt summit directly below which is the magnificent buttress of Gimmer Crag, most popular of all climbing-grounds."
Loft Crag is one of a number of peaks that make up the popular Langdale Pikes, nestled between Harrison Stickle and the picturesque Pike O'Stickle.
The summit of Loft Crag sits atop Gimmer Crag, a prime rock climbing spot, pioneered in the 1880s.
The summit has an impressive view of Great Langdale, thanks to the fact the fell sits further into the valley than the other Langdale Pikes. The view Bowfell and Pike O'Stickle is also worthy of note
