Great Gable

Great Gable

Great Gable is one of the most dramatic fells in Cumbria. (We do not call them mountains.)

Its cliffs and gulleys are popular with rock climbers and the famous pinnacle of "Napes Needle" can be found on Gable's flank. The first ascent of "Napes Needle" in the 19th Century is considered as the birth of Rock Climbing in Britain.
