Pike O' Stickle is the site of a Stone Age axe factory. Archaeologists have found discarded axe heads strewn on the scree which descends into the valley below. A kind of prehistoric rubbish dump for axe makers. Years ago people used the scree as a quick descent route to the valley floor. It's very much frowned upon nowadays and the scree is much depleted. I wonder how Stone Age man returned to the valley without walking boots to keep dry and safe.
