Lingmell

The summit of Lingmell reaches an elevation of 807 meters and features a distinct cairn with a rock positioned three meters to the east.

This mountain developed through geological processes involving lava flows of Scafell Dacite, combined with andesite and hybridized andesite porphyry formations over millions of years.

Lingmell holds recognition in British mountaineering circles through its inclusion in both the Birkett Hills and Nuttalls Hill classification lists.

Two primary ascent routes from Wasdale Head traverse through Brown Tongue or Piers Gill, with additional access available via the Corridor Route from Borrowdale.

The northern face of Lingmell presents a dramatic 300-meter crag followed by an additional 300 meters of scree descending toward the valley floor.
