This spectacular outcrop with a tree growing out of it can be seen from the top of Old John. Unfortunately it is just a heap of boulders with only a little problem arête.
Outside the western fence of this wood is one of the best examples of [Slate Agglomerate] known, with huge contorted masses of slate, the matrix of the rock showing glistening fragments of felspar and bits of pink felsite.
The oak tree growing in a joint is gradually forcing the crag apart.
