SIDE PIKE

Rock Type Rhyolite
Access Park near the cattle grid on the Blea tarn road. A path leads up Lingmoor Fell from a stile. After about 300m or so you need to traverse the hill side near to a fence, and you come to the crag.
Comments The crag lies in between the pike and fell, thus it can get quite cold and very windy. The rock is very sound, although a little vegetated in places. The top of the crag has a lot of loose top, and so care should be taken when finishing.
Best Routes

Local Facilities The Old Dungeon Ghyll is the closest pub and has excellent ice cream for sale. These are excellent during hot weather, when you come down off the crag. The prices and food here are also second to known. The atmosphere is very friendly.
