    Tips

    Hiking

    Little Hangman is one of the main prominent landmarks in the area, along with its 'big brother' The Great Hangman. One way to explain its name is likely the local legend that tells of a sheep rustler. This rustler once took a ram tied with a rope, when suddenly, the ram escaped, falling off a cliff and taking the rustler with it. As they fell, the rope snagged onto a rock, and the next morning, it is said that a sailor passed by and saw the man hanging from the rope.
