Description

This is the farthest upstream crag on the East side of the Lower Gorge. The Watt's guide lists a mere 5 routes, all one stars, all finishing with off-widths. Although these lines are less asthetic and sustained than other gorge routes the rock is solid, the moves are varied and the climbing is fun.

Getting There

Go upstream from Shakespeare Cliff to the next crag.
