It may be remembered that at Whitsuntide, 1903, Mr. Botterill did two pioneer climbs, one of first class severity, on Scawfell, besides leading up Savage Gully.</p> <p>Having completed the climb, the two walked to the Scawfell Cairn to watch the sunset, and then returned, intending to descend by the easy Deep Ghyll.</p> <p>Deep Ghyll is a vast chasm which cuts deeply into the Scawfell Crags on the west side of the Pinnacle.
