The western slopes of the fell drop swiftly to Fusedale over a few outcrops of rock, Fusedale Beck flowing due north to Ullswater. North north west and north from Loadpot Hill, two short spurs fan out to the twin tops of Bonscale Pike and Arthur's Pike. These two fells, both with craggy faces overlooking Ullswater, are separated by Swarthbeck Gill.
