Heart Leaf Bluff Rock Climbing

Perched high above the road on the North side of the gorge, this sunny crag offers exciting routes with exposure from the word go! Excellent views of climbers on High Rock and Sunset Buttress top off the experience at this crag.

The routes are mostly trad, with a selection from S 4a to E5 6b (5.5 to 5.12-ish), with Dinner Date (E1 5b, or low 5.10) always popular. In the sport department, the main attraction is probably the drastically exposed Mescalito (7c or 5.12d), but there are a handful of other 5.12 routes on offer.

Being situated quite high up, and facing South East, this crag gets the sun through to mid afternoon and can be a good choice for cold days. However, it will also be exposed to any wind going, and that's often quite a lot in Cheddar gorge!

The usual Cheddar disclaimers apply: some seepage in the winter, and some loose rock remains!
