At {{convert|891|m|ft|0}} it is the second highest [[List of Wainwrights|Wainwright]] in the [[Helvellyn range]], the highest of which is [[Helvellyn]] itself. It is located close to the southern end of the ridge, with Helvellyn to the north, and [[High Crag (Helvellyn)|High Crag]] and [[Dollywaggon Pike]] to the south. Nethermost Pike, along with many of the [[Eastern Fells]], lies between [[Thirlmere]] in the west and the [[Ullswater]] [[Drainage basin|catchment]] in the east. The closest villages are [[Glenridding]] and [[Patterdale]] on the shores of Ullswater, over {{convert|8|km|sigfig=1}} away. Like most fells in the Helvellyn range, Nethermost Pike has grassy western slopes and rocky outcrops on the eastern side. Geologically, Nethermost Pike belongs to the [[Borrowdale Volcanic Group]]. [[Lead]] was once mined on its eastern slopes, resulting in [[Open-pit mining|open workings]] and [[Shaft mining|underground mines]]. The eastern slopes are protected as part of a [[Site of Special Scientific Interest]] because of the Pike's geological and biological features, which include some of England's best [[Tundra|arctic-alpine]] and tall-herb vegetation.
