5 minsThe huge Great Flake Boulder stands proud above the lower set of blocks and dominates the upper slope. This has a few routes on its tallest face. Further left (looking in) there are a few hard test-pieces tucked away, plus some tall walls tackled by the odd highball. There are plenty of other problems in amongst the blocks here and even more further east under the electricity wires in an area known as the Stile Boulders. Guidebook page 88.
