	It is a crowning misfortune for Green Gable, however, that the volcanic upheaval ages ago also stopped upheaving at a moment when this fell was in a position completely subservient to a massive neighbour, and so fashioned the summit that is forever destined to look up into the pillared crags of Great Gable as a suppliant before a temple.
