While often a warm up on the way to its parent peak, Scafell Pike, hikes up Lingmell are absolutely worthy of your full attention as this fell is a wonder in its own right. Lying just to the north west of England’s highest mountain, Lingmell offers a strenuous but straightforward ascent from the west with a fantastic surprise at the top. Equally, it can be ascended after Scafell, ideal for a final summit and a glance backwards.

Tips

Lingmell may be one of Scafell Pike's satellite peaks, but it is a fine mountain in its own right. Its rocky north east face quickens the pulse of hikers ascending into the Scafells along the Sty Head Pass, while the cleft of Piers Gill is a spectacular sight beneath its crags. However, arguably the best thing about Lingmell is the astonishing view of Great Gable from its summit.

A fantastic climb up here really straight forward to the summit from the Corridor route, much quieter than Scafell, stop here and have lunch before making the climb to the top of Englands highest mountain.
