Jones, and Fairbairn. The big pitch was found to be 40 or 50 ft. High, the lowest part of it apparently overhanging. The first few feet were climbed about three feet to the right of the falling water, after which the leader was able to reach the other side of the gill by stretching his left foot across it just outside the water. By this means this great and hitherto insuperable difficulty was overcome. Unless we are entering on a cycle of di'y seasons, the exploit is one which will not be repea...ted for some time. Various accidents and minor mishaps have taken place in Piers Gill. One is described by Mr. Payn, and the injured man was, I believe, a shepherd called Tom Hale. Mr. W. O. Bm-rows had a bad fall above the bridge, and people descend- ing fi'om the Pikes are often pounded about the same spot. Some years ago a tom-ist had to pass the night in the gill without food, but protested that he was ' quite consoled by the beautiful scenery. ' The discovery of the route up the east side of the Pillar RocTc was within an ace of being delaj'ed for j-ears, owing to the band of bold explorers who were to work it out becoming entangled in Piers Gill while on their way to Wastdale Head.
