Scafell descent line?

[wheezing donkey]

Red line, stay right of wall until you meet the beck and then follow the track/path to car park?
If you have something slippy you can slide on your arse a lot of the way down the grass towards the beck. Gives the quads a bit of respite.

Exactly. No need to be climbing walls. On a friends recent birthday walk from Ravenglass to Scafell Pike, we contoured above the top intake wall and crossed the 'red route' just above the wall corner. An obvious trod is beginning to appear in the grass on that descent line.
