Great Gable

Description

The dominant peak at the head of Wasdale. Although not the highest peak in the area, it is one of the more significant ones. Main routes are from Wasdale Head, Styhead Tarn and over Brandreth and Green Gable from Honister Pass.

Summit is marked by a large boulder formation and a memorial to climbers killed whilst fighting during the First World War.

A large dome shaped peak with steep drops on all sides.

Neighbouring peaks are Great End and the Scafell massif to the south, Green Gable to the east and Kirk Fell to the north.
