Crag Z

One of the first areas to be developed mainly to gain access to the top of the crag to seek out abseil points.Good quality limestone and copious cheap re-usable protection make this a must for aspirant "trad climbers"

1. Cinders Shall Not Go To The Ball - H. Severe
   Romp up the cracks exiting on the right of the short steep wall.Prolong the"adventure" with the 1hr fight through blackthorn and walk back to your floating rucsac OR abseil off.
   
   
2. Del Boy Dallies With The Trolls - V.Diff
   From the same ledge gain and take the obvious diagonal crack-descent options as per previous route.
