==Classification== Mountains are often [[Hill lists in the British Isles|classified]] according to their heights. At {{Convert|891|m|ft}} Nethermost Pike is listed as a [[Nuttall (hill)|Nuttall]], which requires an elevation of {{Convert|2000|ft|m|order=flip}}. However, with a prominence of {{convert|22|m|ft|0}} it is not counted as a [[Hewitt (hill)|Hewitt]] or [[Marilyn (hill)|Marilyn]] which require prominences of {{convert|30|m|ft|0}} and {{convert|150|m|ft|0}} respectively. Nethermost Pike is also counted as a [[List of Wainwrights|Wainwright]] because it was given a chapter in [[Alfred Wainwright]]'s ''[[Pictorial Guide to the Lakeland Fells]]''. It is the second-highest of the [[Eastern Fells]], and the ninth highest of all the [[Wainwrights]]. South of Nethermost Pike is High Crag {{convert|884|m|ft|0}}, which is separated from Nethermost Pike by a very limited depression. Most guidebooks follow Alfred Wainwright in considering [[High Crag (Helvellyn)|High Crag]] to be a part of Nethermost Pike. This convention is not universally followed however, with author Bill Birkett preferring to differentiate between the two fells.<ref name="birkett">{{cite book |title= Complete Lakeland Fells|last= Birkett|first= Bill|year= 1994|publisher= Collins Willow |isbn= 0-00-218406-0}}</ref>
