📖 Key Information

Ladyside Pike at 607m (1,991ft) is an intermediate summit on the Hopegill Head ridge above the Coledale valley, its rocky top giving fine views of the surrounding North Western Fells. Wainwright included it as a separate fell, noting its position on the approach to Hopegill Head from Coledale Hause. Most naturally combined with Hopegill Head on the Coledale Horseshoe circuit.
