Gable Crag is one of the highest crags in the Lakes, it is also wet and North Facing. This makes it ideal as a winter crag. In recent years the potential of the crag has started to be realised and a number of the high quality summer lines are now classic winter routes. A couple of nights frost and bit of cloud cover are all that is needed to give good climbing conditions. Routes on the Napes have seen winter ascents and Green Gable to the North also offers some good mixed climbing.
