Sail, Mountain summit in Lake District, England
The 773-meter peak of Sail rises among the North Western Fells, featuring exposed rock formations and steep slopes that lead to its summit cairn.
Sail earned its classification as a Wainwright fell when Alfred Wainwright documented it in his 1950s guidebooks about the Lake District mountains.
Local mountaineering groups maintain the traditional cairn marking system on Sail, preserving the navigation methods used by generations of Lake District climbers.
The mountain connects to neighboring peaks Crag Hill and Scar Crags through clear paths, with the main ascent route starting from the Coledale Valley.
Sail stands as the 95th highest mountain in England with a prominence of 32 meters, marking it as both a Birkett and Hewitt categorized peak.
