Above Wasdale, Great Gable and Kirk Fell form one of the western Lakes' finest high-level circuits. This full day route offers superb views, rocky summit terrain and the satisfaction of linking two classic fells in a single push.
A circular route links both summits with careful route planning on complex western fells terrain. Expect steep ascents, rocky paths and open fellside with outstanding views across Wasdale and towards the Scafell range throughout the day.
The exact line and meeting point are confirmed before your walk based on conditions and group fitness. Your instructor manages pacing and safety throughout, with regular breaks for food and rest on this demanding double-summit day.
Deep in the western Lake District, Great Gable and Kirk Fell rise above Wasdale with meeting points in the Wasdale Head or Honister Pass area depending on the chosen circuit. You select your preferred area when you enquire, and we confirm the exact car park based on the route plan and forecast.
The western fells offer some of England's most dramatic mountain scenery, with deep valleys, rocky summits and long views across the national park. Full directions and what3words links are sent before your walk.
A double-summit day above Wasdale calls for good hill fitness and previous experience on mountain walks. Expect sustained ascent, rocky terrain near both tops and a long day on the fells without shortcut options once the circuit is underway.
Bring full waterproof kit, sturdy boots and sufficient food and water for seven to eight hours on the hill. This walk suits walkers who are comfortable on steep, uneven ground and have completed similar Lake District fells days before.
Pathless or indistinct ground between two summits is far easier with a guide who knows the best lines and escape routes across the western fells. We take the navigation stress away so you can enjoy the views and the challenge without worrying about complex terrain.
We choose circuits that match your fitness while maximising your time on two superb summits above Wasdale. Whether you are ticking off classic fells or simply want a memorable day in the mountains, we set a supportive pace throughout.

Good hill fitness is essential for this double-summit day. Expect sustained ascent, rocky terrain near both tops, and a long day on the fells without shortcut options once the circuit is underway.
Contact us when you enquire if you are unsure about suitability. A shorter single-summit guided day may be a better first option.
Mountain walks run in most weather but your guide will adjust or postpone if conditions make the planned ground unsafe. High winds on exposed summits and poor visibility on complex terrain may require a route change.
You will be contacted before your walk if a significant change is needed.
