About Gimmer Crag

High mountain crag above Mickleden between Harrison and Pike o' Stickle. South-facing with sun all day — quick-drying and the jewel in Langdale's crown. 45-min approach. Multi-pitch up to ~75m. The rock is immaculate volcanic ash, and the crag is split into three distinct tiers with an exceptional density of multi-pitch classics across all traditional grade brackets. World-famous testpieces like Kipling Groove (HVS 5a) and Bracket and Slab (VS 4b) offer continuous, breathtaking exposure above the valley. Because of the multi-tiered structure, falling rock from parties above is a constant risk — helmets essential.

Region: Lake District — Langdale
Rock type: Rhyolite
Aspect: south-facing
Altitude: 600m
Exposure: high
Seepage: low
