Rocky was returned down the mountain, followed carefully by its owners, and teams said the almost 73-pound dog stayed “cool, calm and favorably regal throughout!”
Scafell Pike steps at an imposing 3,209-feet high and is home to the greatest standing water in England called Broad Crag Tarn.
Broad Crag Tarn lies at about 2,700 feet, about a quarter of a mile south of the top, according to the Scafell Pike website.
The base of Scafell Pike is home to England’s inmost lake called Wastewater which determines 3 miles throughout and simply over half a mile broad.
The lake determines a shocking 258 feet deep.
