Crag features
A clean glaciated butress close to the car park. Rapid drying.
Forty to fifty metre routes on excellent rock. A great evening or short day venue. Crypt Direct(E1), Go Between(E2), Mandrake(HVS), Irony(HVS), Aberration(MVS), Quayfoot Buttress(VD).Have done Aberration a number of times and have always found the first pitch considerably harder than the second .Anyone else had problems with it?
fatrob> climbed here after rain. The crag did not dry as quickly as we hoped, and we believe the "Rapid Drying" information above to be erroneous. The lichen on the rock makes routes treacherous when damp.
Approach notes
Two minutes from the NT Bowderstone car park.
