Whiteless Pike

Whiteless Pike is a mountain in the northwestern Lake District that rises to about 660 meters and displays a pointed pyramid shape. The peak is surrounded by grassy slopes that descend toward Rannerdale valley and offer views across the surrounding fells.

This mountain was formed during the Ordovician period and consists of layers of mudstone and siltstone. These rock types created the geological foundation that shapes the peak we see today.

The peak features in numerous Lake District hiking guides, with established paths starting from Buttermere village through varied terrain to reach the summit.

This summit can be reached via marked trails starting from free parking near Rannerdale. The route climbs through grassy slopes at a steady pace, making it accessible for most visitors.

From the summit, you can see Great Gable and the Scafell massif directly across the landscape. This vantage point sits between two river valleys, making it a natural meeting point in the fell system.
