Features | Over 100 climbs and a similar number of boulder problems packed onto one tiny hillside. Classics abound, from Fluted Columns (VD) to Wall of Horrors (E3). Nasty, brutish and short, these climbs may seem somewhat undergraded to the uninitiated. World class bouldering. Oh, and it gets a bit windy sometimes. | ||||||||||||||||
Access | Park in the layby below the crag and walk up the obvious path. Dries very quickly, but the bottom of the crag can get muddy. BMC access notes are available for this crag. | ||||||||||||||||
