James Hughes climbed it on May 16th, 2025 [from/via/route] c315 Carl Side & Dodd from Ravenstone Hotel [weather] Warm sunny but very windy on tops. - Second walk of the day. Path up bridleway from Ravenstone Hotel was steep & challenging - maybe difficult after rain. Steep climb all the way to Ullock Pike. Awesome views & then easy progress across ridge to Carl Side. Path down to White Stones steep & tricky. Descent to Dodd from Cairn also technical. Climb through forest up to Dodd Memorial delightful. Against AW advice descended on a path which was on OS Map through wood to rejoin summit path. Meander through Rabbit Warren back to Hotel. Pint of Corby Blonde.

Richard Holmes bagged it on April 7th, 2025 [from/via/route] High side [with] Myself. [weather] Hot, very hot, some clouds & occasional wind. Going Skiddaw. - One of the best walks.

There is power to bless in hillside lonliness - in tarns and freary places. A virtue in the brook, a freshness in the look, of mountains's joyless faces - Frank William Fuber: 1814-1863
