BETA PHOTO: Roadside Rock with Gulp splitting the center.

Description 

Another farm with some climbable rock stuffed inbetween the pastures and forest. Most the rock here isn’t very tall, a fair amount of the cliffs off the main cliff haven’t been retrobolted, and don’t be surprised to find your route covered in lichen and cobwebs – if you can find it at all. It’s not the first place I’d recommend visiting but if you’re in town for awhile it’s worth checking out for at least one day.

I think few would disagree that Gulp is the most memorable climb at Bayley and a must do. Whether it’s a good memory or a bad one depends on your opinion of squeeze chimneys. You might also give 20/20 and Won’t Be Long a go.
