[Hide Comment] The picture does not match the description as you can see another route to the left in the picture. If the guide is correct, then the picture would be for Mother-in-Law which goes up the center of the wall. Jul 6, 2012

[Hide Comment] Based on the ratings listed and how they felt to me when climbing them, I think the picture here is correct but the ordering on the area and route page may be erroneous. I can't speak to the route names, but the middle route at Gully Wall - which is pictured here - definitely felt easier than the leftmost route, and the text description is spot on about a low crux with enjoyable climbing above.

[Hide Comment] This is a must do if you're here. Fun route with some solid holds. The crux is down low, gradually getting easier as you go up. Definitely easier for taller climbers though. Oct 3, 2021
