Description Suggest change

Located just past the gully at the end of the Slab Area. As the name implies...there are lots of buzzards that circle this end of the cliff.

There has been some recent route development on the left hand side of this cliff.

Getting There Suggest change

Continue walking downhill past the Slab Area.
