UKC

250m, 10 pitches. 250m limestone tower. Pitches graded 3, 4a, 5a, 4c, 10m abseil, 4b, 5a, 4c, 4c, 3, 4c. Descent involves scrambling, a 20m abseil, more scrambling and a scree run. Very similar to climbing in the Dolomites. There are bolts but bring a light rack.

βeta: Easy scramble in. Lots of loose rock on ledges but quality rock in between. All pitches easily climbed with a 50m rope but for the descent abseil a 30m abseil makes it much easier. Good but spaced bolts. Descent starts on tricky loose scree and moves to an easier scree running descent. At half way it is possible to abseil to the scree from some tat around a spike. However the best climbing pitches are above this!

βeta: Belays all have two bolts. Most pitches have 1-2 bolts only so bring some nuts and cams if not confident at the grade. Abseils well equipped with chains.
