Description
Highest of the three summits which comprise the Saddle Rocks, Cantle sees the least amount of traffic but those who make the uphill approach will be rewarded with one of the best views in the area.
The rock quality here varies a bit and is not on par with the lower formations, something to bear in mind before making the hike up the hillside.
Climbs of note here include The Good Book (5.9) a prominent dihedral and Crystal Calisthenics (5.10a) a mixed face and crack route.
