"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.

We joined a group walking up Scafell Pike on Saturday 11th August and loved it! Scafell is not easy at all, quite strenuous for a large part and some of the terrain is very difficult, but it's worth it! The view from the top is amazing if you're lucky enough to get a clear day. This trip was easy to book, and the information given was clear. We were provided details of the meet point as well as directions and a list of equipment we needed. Our guide, Hugh, was extremely friendly, professional and knowledgeable and put us at our ease. I felt a little intimidated at first as some of our group were clearly experienced walkers and my husband and I were not nearly as fit as they were, but Hugh (and everybody in the group) were encouraging and friendly and made the day a great success. Thanks Hugh. Just do it, book a tour and go climb Scafell. It's worth the effort!
