Talk:Pavey Ark

Untitled
Where did the prominence figure of c 12m come from? Pavey Ark is listed in John & Anne Nuttall's book "The Mountains of England and Wales" which means they believe it to have a prominence of at least 15m. I've changed it to read "c 15m".


 * Since the "c." is basically an abbreviation for "±5 m", the two values need not be in conflict. Either way, the relative height is pretty small, but since the Nuttalls measured all the minuscule relative heights themselves, it's probably more accurate than something interpolated from the Ordnance Survey's 5 m contours, as I assume the "c. 12 m" to be. --Stemonitis 14:36, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

Stickle?
What's a stickle? it's in a few names in this area. --AW 16:06, 18 May 2007 (UTC)


 * The OED says of stickle: "Of a hill or incline: Steep, high-pitched. s.w. dial.", from the Old English sticol meaning lofty, steep, rough, difficult. — ras52 15:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Jack's Rake
The article refers to the well-known scramble on the face of Pavey Ark as Jake's Rake. Every guidebook e.g. Wainwrights Guide to the Central Fells describes this as Jack's Rake. If there are no comments to the contrary I intend to make the appropriate edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Byrdbraine (talk • contribs) 21:54, 18 December 2021 (UTC)
