Great End, Mountain summit in Southern Fells, England.
The 910-meter mountain features two distinctive cairns at its peak, with the northwest cairn providing expansive views across the Borrowdale valley.
The northern cliffs of Great End gained recognition among early mountaineers for their challenging gullies, including South East Gully and Central Gully.
The mountain represents the fifth-highest peak in the Wainwright Fells collection, drawing regular visits from dedicated mountain climbers and nature enthusiasts.
Climbers can access Great End through multiple routes, including paths from Sty Head Tarn, Wasdale Head through Lingmell Gill, and Borrowdale via Grains Gill.
The northern face retains snow deep into spring due to the steep cliffs that block direct sunlight, creating extended winter climbing conditions.
