Kevin Foster climbed Ladyside Pike on May 20th, 2020 [from/via/route] Hopegill Head. [with] By myself. [weather] Very sunny & very hot. - More easy scrambling out & back to this spur of Hopegill Head. The descent is quite tricky at first off Hopegill Head but soon gets easier as the grassy ridge is reached leading beside a wall to the summit. The return climb is a pleasant scramble. Delightful ridge walk there & back. Great top worth the diversion!

Mark Davidson bagged Ladyside Pike on March 11th, 2014 [with] Alone [weather] Gloriously sunny
