Description 

This area of the rock lies to the right of The Escalator (as you might guess from the name). The climbs start from the ground and are one pitch in length. They are mostly crack routes, but with some face climbing.


Getting There 

Walk about 100 yards right from the Weeping Wall, along the base of the rock.
