Description 

A complex crag which consists of a large triangular central slab/face (The Nose), and "wings" (Eastern and Western) offering steep to overhanging climbs. Further right lies the Plexus Buttress.

The Nose has such classic slab climbs as The Cracks, Direct, and Diagonal.

Descent for The Nose routes is the easy gully on the right (facing the rock).


Getting There 

Essentially opposite Cromlech, park at the Cromlech Boulders.
