    Tips

    The boulders pile up on the summit ridge and there are hardly any or only very difficult ways to avoid them or to get in between.

      An amazing spot on the Old rag trail. A natural staircase that allows you to cross through two gigantic rock formation, whilst a big piece of rock is wedged in above you. It forces you to bend low whilst climbing up the stairs. Great place for taking some spectacular photos.
