    Hiking

    The summit Carl Side is often passed by people hiking Skiddaw from Dodd Wood, without them even realising it's a Wainwright in its own right. The view up Skiddaw from Carl Side is somewhat fearsome, with two scree paths looking equally uninviting! The ridge walk across Long Side to Ullock Pike from Carl Side is joyous, with gorgeous views across Bassenthwaite.

    An almost unnoticed Wainwright as the summit does not have any distinct or prominent features. Bagging this with Skiddaw is effortless when descending directly from Skiddaws peak.

    One of three Wainwrights on this spur. Caught it on a great day. Great view of Skiddaw.
