Description
A nice 2 pitch trad climb on solid rock.
Pitch 1:
Start up steep ground (mini crux) to some easier ground. Then climb through the overhanging crack (crux). Crux can be skipped by climbing on easier ground to the right. Finish up easier ground to double bolt belay.
Pitch 2:
From the belay follow the crack to the left, which passes a bolt and a series of small caves. Double bolt belay.
More pitches are currently under development (as at early 2017).
Location
Middle of the crag, starting under the canopy. Climb marked with stone at the base.
