GIMMER CRAG, IN LANGDALE.

This view of the Pikes is from the common, a mile above Wall End, and nine or ten miles from Ambleside - Gimmer Crag is that grand surface of rock which rises to an apex in the middle of the distance. - This view of Langdale Pikes bears a considerable resemblance to the Screes on Wast Water.
The road to Wastdale, over Langdale Head, and to Borrowdale, by the Stake, is between the foot of Bow Fell, (which foot is the middle distance) and the base of the Pikes.
