Great Gable and Green Gable

Great Gable 899 m (2,949 ft) left and Green Gable 801 m (2,628 ft) right. Great Gable is a mountain lying at the very heart of the English Lake District, appearing as a pyramid from Wasdale (hence its name), but as a dome from most other directions. It is one of the most popular of the Lakeland fells, and there are many different routes to the summit. Great Gable is linked by the high pass of Windy Gap to its smaller sister hill, Green Gable, and by the lower pass of Beck Head to its western neighbour, Kirk Fell. Green Gable is a fell in the English Lake District often traversed by walkers on route to its more famous neighbour Great Gable. It can be ascended from Honister Pass, Seathwaite in Borrowdale or Ennerdale. There are good views of Gable Crag, Scafell Pike and the Buttermere valley from the summit (from Wikipedia). (Feb 2006)
