Description

This crag is plagued with some of the chosiest rock at Shelving that will mostly likely rain down on you at some point while climbing here. That being said, the easiest routes are located here. Belayers should wear a helmet and be on the look for falling rocks. Despite small bits of loose rock here and there the climbs are actually a good time.
