Description

As you might expect, Group Site 2 Rocks lie directly behind Group Campsite 2. Routes to do here include Klettervergnugen (5.9) a so-so slab climb as well as 29 Bombs (5.11a) an angling crack to vertical face and Blitzkrieg (5.12a) a difficult thin face climb.

Getting There

From the main entrance road, turn at signed Group Camping road. Park in Group Site 2 or neaby if full. Group Site 2 Rocks are the dark, north-facing formations directly behind Group Site 2.
