Description

Uppermost wall at Kinnaird Bluffs. Lots of easy beginner routes up here, sport and trad, ranging mostly from 5.5 - 5.8, with two 5.10's. All routes have chain anchors.

Getting There

The best approach is to walk in from the top of Polished wall, the gully up from Squeeze Chimney is quite steep and loose.
