Mickledore is the distinctive notch in the skyline between Scafell Pike (left) and Scafell (right). Mickledore is a narrow ridge at an elevation of 840 metres (2,760 ft), connecting the mountains of Scafell and Scafell Pike in the English Lake District. It is also a pass between the valleys of Wasdale and Eskdale. The name means great door or pass.

Two further ridges branch out from Crinkle Crags on either side of the summit, before turning south to run parallel to Little Stand.
