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. Because of the multi-tiered structure, falling rock from parties above is a constant risk — helmets essential.
