Bolting Policy
Retro-bolting allowed with first ascentonist permission. New sports route allowed.
Preamble
25 routes up to 10/12mts in height. Rock is mainly flowstone and can be friable. Fully bolted with lower offs for all routes. The crag is split into 2 sections, a small wall containing 11 routes is on the right approx 250mts before the main wall. Because of its altitude it can be cold, but facing west gets any afternoon sun that's going. A good afternoon evening crag in fine weather.
