A bouldering venue worth seeking out if you're desperate, local or interested in the great tradition of esoteric fingery sandstone traversing. This man-made sandstone-block buttress sits on the footpath alongside the River Severn under the Bewdley bypass bridge. The rock quality is generally very good and the climbing is technical, vertical, wall-climb crimping. The proximity of the River Severn makes the setting a compelling blend of the urban and natural environments - when the river is up it can be a dramatic and wild scene, when the river is low it's a tranquil spot where you can watch the kingfishers and egrets.
Celebrity endorsement "The climbing is actually much better than it has any right to be." Johnny Dawes
