The view over Newlands Pass from just below the summit of Whiteless Pike.

Whiteless Pike, 660 metres (2,170 ft) high, is a fell in the north-western English Lake District. It stands immediately east of Crummock Water and forms a pyramid shape when viewed from Rannerdale. In his celebrated guide to the Lakeland fells, A Wainwright called it "the Weisshorn of Buttermere".[1] There are good views of Great Gable and the Scafells from the summit.
