Description

All bolted routes on a steep east facing fin of rock, that will make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end. Walk-offs or raps are possible. The climbing is not for the weak of heart.

Getting There

Just Before Stairs Power Plant on the north side of the road is an access road with a heavy gate. Look and see, then climb.
