Description

This is a new area first "discovered" By Joe Degeanto, Chris Natalie, and myself, and right now contains the highest quality roped climbing in the area. The crack climbs tend to be straight forward, and stay relativelty the same size. The sport climbs are all technical and will test your balance and crimp strength. The cliff is around 50 feet tall, and gets morning or afternoon sun, depending on what side you climb on.

Getting There

Drive to the monastery and drive all the way down the green fields until you can't anymore. Cross the river, and walk uphill to the base of the cliff.
If you have a 4wd car its possible to drive basically up to the base of the cliff.

Top Access

This cliff was developed with the fact in mind that not many people in the country have trad racks or can crack climb. SO Unless specified, every single anchor can be very easily access from the top of the cliff. When it's not easy, usually there is a bolt or 2 to help you get into position to clip the anchors.
