Grade: | Ungraded | Length: | 30m |
| Location: | Crinkle Crags | Ascent: | 25m (82ft) | |
| The 'Bad Step' on Crinkle Crags is a small scramble alongside two large chockstones that block a gully leading to the summit of Long Top. It is not a difficult scramble but is very steep (near verticle) 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. | ||||
