The crag is 200m along here on the right. |

UPDATE: February 2022. The landowner/manager has banned climbing and all the hangers and lower-offs have been removed. Discussions are on-going and when the situation changes this page will be updated.
The rock is slate but don’t let this put you off. The rock is solid and runs to satisfyingly juggy climbing on the easier routes. The climbing on the harder routes is mainly on sharp crimps and edges providing steep absorbing routes. The routes are up to 10m high.
