Scafell Pike and Lingmell via Piers Gill from Wasdale Head the Lake District....

Wasdale Head is a small hamlet in the Lake District National Park. It is located at the “head” of the valley of Wasdale, and is surrounded by some of England’s highest mountains: Scafell Pike, Sca Fell, Great Gable, Kirk Fell and Pillar.

Piers Gill is a ‘canyonʼ descent with several short pitches and one longer one; and no place for a Fell Walker do not attempt to walk down the bed of the stream!!
It is not possible to ascend the stream bed nor is there a path on the west side do not attempt a route here. There is a rock 'step', approximately 10m high located around half way up Piers Gill the path leads directly to the base.

Scafell Pike is the highest and the most prominent mountain in England, at an elevation of 978 metres above sea level. It is located in the Lake District, Cumbria, and is part of the Southern Fells and the Scafell massif. Scafell Pike forms part of the inactive Scafells volcano. 

Lingmell is a fell in the Lake District, standing above the village of Wasdale Head. It is an outlier on the north-west flank of Scafell Pike.
