Description

Moderate sport climbing. These routes were put up sometime around 2005 by Stuart Emerson. Kind of a forgotten crag.

Getting There

Park in the big gravel area across the road from the Cove. Follow the power-line cut toward the south. When the road cuts right toward the river cut left and cross a small ravine. After a while you'll see the cliff with some debris at the base.
