Description 

The Metrosexual area has quite a few hard routes between 5.11 and 5.12. Many of these hard routes have manageable starts that allow you to get to a good altitude before spitting you off into safe deep water.

Getting There

The left cave, which has another small cave to the left of it, is the Metrosexual area. The large cave to the right is the Snatch area. Walk left around the bay and (carefully) clamber down onto the platform between the large and small cave. The large cave contains a good number of S0 routes.
