Bad Step

Location: Crinkle Crags
Grid Reference: NY 24893 04760
Grade: Unofficially Grade. Approximately 0.5

The 'Bad Step' on Crinkle Crags is a small scramble alongside two large chock-stones that block a gully leading to the summit of Long Top. It is not a difficult scramble but is very steep (near vertical) and only a couple of metres of any real exposure. An alternative path exists around either side (left being the safer) so there is no need to do the scramble to summit the mountain from this direction.

Bad Step. The best route is up to the right of the chock stones.
