Description

Awesome granite climbing a 10 minute walk from your car. Some good routes here but they could use some cleaning. A bit of grass and brush make things a bit more "interesting".

Getting There

Park at the end of Top Rd above Fresnaye and follow the path up towards Lion's head. Before the path leaves the woods follow the treeline up (to avoid the worst of the brush out in the open). Head up towards the obvious Granite Formation. This deposits you at the far right end of the routes. Traverse underneath the rock and to the left to get to the routes.

Another option is driving up to Lion's Head and park at the Muslim Kramat. I haven't taken this approach so I can't accurately describe it.
