Description
The Main Area is a wide section of quarried limestone cliffs to the right of the Main Wall, with multipitch routes about 250 foot in height at parts. The left side of the area is a large slab known as the Morning Slab, with an enormous overhang above the far left end (some unusual aid routes exist on this!). Above the slab is the Evening Wall, and to it's right, the Central Buttress.
Overall this area contains a good mixture of difficulties, from easy-moderate, low-angled routes on the Morning Slab to more difficult climbs on the Central Buttress. Petros, on the Evening Wall is well worth doing, if only for the unusual move off the tree!
