Back Forest is the western extension of the Skyline section of the Roaches and it consists of several pleasant bits of rock scattered along the ridge, only a couple are mentioned here. The area is very tranquil when compared to nearby honey-pots, the lack of major classics and the slightly awkward parking situation tend to keep the crowds away. It is not a good venue for large groups and this is actively discouraged by The Peak Park.
