One of about nine Nuttalls in the central Scafell group. III Crag's summit is another one that is not often visited though as it consists of a very rocky bouldery top which is just off the footpath enough to put people off the awkward journey to its non descriptive top. Fine views from there though.

Hiking

This peak is considered a Munro Furth of Scotland and it therefore one of 6 Furths in England. It can be easily visited along with Broad Crag and Scafell Pike. Views are great and the effort to reach the bouldery top is minimal from the main path.
