Access Issue: Warning! Stainless steel bolts are suspect near the coast! Details

You can read about the warning here. There is extensive rebolting being done by the Thaitanium Project, which has already rebolted the vast majority of popular routes in the main areas. Be informed!

Description

This area is new for Mountain Project, and is just getting started. Feel free to contribute!

Goes into shade late morning. The crag is named the Keep because it was kept secret until all the routes were bolted and climbed. Vertical to slightly overhanging good limestone.

Getting There

From the 1-2-3 Wall head down the coastline away from the resorts. Near a jumble of boulders thru some bamboo you'll find a trail going to Duncan's Boot, Jungle Gym etc. when the trail splits go right.
From Duncan's Boot go right and around the next wall. Pass it and look for a wall with a deep canyon-like fissure (Jungle Gym). Go thru the fissure and drop down at its end onto a sloping ledge. Usually there is a fixed rope to help with the descent.
