With cliffs on both sides the deep gash of Piers Gill below the crags of Lingmell is a potential hazard to fellwalkers and should be approached carefully: it is also not a through route and its ascent or descent should not be attempted. Long ago a man who failed to heed such warnings or became lost in mist fell into the Gill and broke his leg: he was most fortunate to survive a month on water and bleaberries before being found. Map, compass, skill and care will prevent a repeat. Modern walkers addicted to tech should note this is one of many areas of the Lake District fells with NO PHONE SIGNAL and all that implies for comms and apps. The answer to "what three words" is Ordnance Survey Map.
