Alfred Sefton "Fred" Pigott (1895 – 28 July 1979) was a leading English rock climber of the 1920s and 1930s.
Fred Pigott attended Manchester Grammar School and in World War I joined the Royal Fusiliers.
While serving as a sniper, he received a gangrenous wound that deformed his hand and caused his discharge from the army.
They pioneered many routes in the Peak District including Stanage Edge and The Roaches and he later moved to mountains including new routes at Glen Coe, Ben Nevis, the Inaccessible Pinnacle and the 3rd ascent of the central buttress of Scafell in 1923.
Pigott's Climb (VS, 5a, 1924) on the East Buttress of Clogwyn Du'r Arddu set new standards for exposure.
