Great Gable is a favourite mountain of many fell walkers and has many spectacular routes, one of the best is the South or Climbers Traverse. A narrow path climbing slowly over the southern face of Gable above the picturesque valley of Wasdale.
This part of Great Gable is rightly famous, the first recorded rock climb was on Napes Needle which this route will pass just below.
On a high note this is also popular amongst the dead, many people have been choosing this amazing mountain with it's stunning views as their final resting place.
Other points of interest on this route will include Sphinx Rock, an often photographed viewpoint above the Wasdale Valley and the Westmorland Cairn, a spectacular viewpoint just below the summit of Great Gable.
