"Carl Side is a splendid climb in itself, with a glorious view south."

A. Wainwright

Carl Side lies at the head of the Southnerdale Valley, to the north west the ridge descends over Long Side and Ullock Pike down a fine ridge towards Bassenthwaite, to the east the steep slopes climb to the summit of Skiddaw, the fourth highest peak in the Lake District.

A short shoulder climbs Carl Side from the south, climbing from the fields of Millbeck, from the valley below the shapely peak of Carsleddam looks a prominent feature, upon climbing though the summit of Carsleddam is seen to be just a short protuberance from the main ridge, without a separate summit, although it does make a fine viewpoint.

I went up Scafell Pike from Seathwaite on 21 June 2017. Rachel, our guide, told us the route we were to take and was very informative about the various fells/views en route and we had plenty of breaks throughout.Thankfully the weather was clear on the day and the views from the summit of Scafell were fantastic. Rachel advised us when we needed to be extra careful, such as when scrambling over rocks etc and I was grateful for her advice. I would recommend this to anyone who is not confident in attempting such a walk without a guide and you don't have to be superfit to attempt it. The whole walk was an unforgettable experience.
