Description Suggest change

This area of the tower gets sun in early afternoon at summer time, and gets it early afternoon in the winter. A 70m rope is useful for most of these routes, though not necessary. If not used, the midway anchors must be used to descend the routes.

Routes continue from Goliath and continue left around the tower.

Getting There Suggest change

Find the tower (duh!) and look for Goliath (the huge nose), and the routes to the wall to the left is the west face.
