A fabulous new find hiding its pleasures away on the edge of a huge abandoned quarry. This is what sports climbing is about! The grades of the routes (9 so far, with more to come) range from 6b+ to 7b. The wall is mostly vertical and approximately 10m high. Although short, the routes are quite intense, with plenty of technical moves and they feel a lot longer. Good technique, stamina and finger strength will definitely come in handy to varying degrees. Although all the routes are excellent, the ones that stand out are Ascendancy (6b+), Enchanted Nightmare (6c) and Ember to Inferno (7a+).
