Description

This is the vertical wall located 15m to the west of the Bouldering Cave. It’s highly recommended you bring a stick clip for clipping the high first bolts. The limestone can be polished and dirty.

CLIFF ACCESS ANCHORS
There are two anchors installed ABOVE the Block Wall for those wanting to TR solo or set up topropes. From the base of the wall, skirt the cliff for about 150ft to the right until you reach a weakness where you can easily scramble up. Follow a diagonal trail up and left towards the top of the cliff. The ledge is exposed and care must be taken to not drop rocks on anyone below.

Getting There

Approach as for the bouldering Cave and follow the trail to the right through the brush into the corner and the flat vertical wall.
