Description

"This terrific rock forms the bare summit of a huge mountain, and its nodding top so far overhangs the base as to assume the appearance of a cobbler sitting at work, from whence the country people call it 'an greasaiche crom' the crooked shoemaker" John Stoddart, Local Scenery and Manners in Scotland (1799-1800) ^^/\^^

Impressive shot of the Cobbler (modern day name so I am told) lovely textures here, looks a bit of a tough climb to the top.

Ha ha, love to see that imagination for applying names to mountains! Reminds me of the Swiss Jungfrau with the lady lying on the rock! Gorgeous work, quite a special top here, Anthony! :)

This one should defintely 'Last', Anthony ;o) A wee bit like a faded version of one of Christianfly's TERRAGEN creations. Having severely turned my arthritic ankle this morning on a hairsbreadth of snow, trying not to fall on my rear end !! ( on a steep car park slope ) I would not even contemplate trying to climb this. It was bad enough getting up the close stairs. Thanks for the view, therefore, and be careful. Regards, John.

I've heard of 'cooking the books' but cooking shoes!? :] I can see a figure on the right getting up from the ground... which seems a neat sign for the climbers!
