Cotton Top is a decently sized area located close to the road with large boulders scattered on a hillside. The area has great variety. The classics tend to be tall, proud lines. "Half Moon Tilt" V8 is one of the best and hardest of its grade at the New. "Man on the Moon" V10 and "Scudbuster" V6 are two incredible highballs. The quality moderates on the Taper Point Boulder and the thuggy problems in the cave provide variety for everyone to enjoy.
