Description Suggest change

The Keyhole area is the first band of cliff that you find directly abutting the Undercliff Road as you walk north from the Trapps bridge. There are a number of great warm-ups intermingled with classic not-to-be-missed problems. Named for the 5.7 trad off-width crack climb and its two variations (5.9, 5.9+), all three of which are worthwhile V0s. Highlights in the area include the
, Clune Crank (V1), Gill Crack (V2),
and the Gill Pinch Roof (V4).

Getting There Suggest change

Walk three minutes north on the Undercliff Road from the Trapps Bridge.
