description
This is one challenging high overhang that'll offer some slap happy topping out. Grow a set of brass globus crucigers before attempting this regal crusade.
The left part of King Davids Overhang. Left because of its chossy appearance, this boulder has yet two of the most amazing dynos ever. Definitely worth a... fly!
access issues
Please respect the Houses as you walk into the crag. We have established a good relationship with the locals, including the teachers at the nearby school. Please continue to be a good example of the climbing community
approach
Approach details soon to come.
ethic
Development is still open in this area, but please make sure your new line is reasonably different to those existing. If you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to contact the main developers - Brendon Flanagan or Ranger Dave.
Please respect the crag and clean up an trash you see. Sadly teenage punks from the local school mess this place up.
history
The first area of the crag that Brendon meet up with Dave at. There was much rejoicing between the two as they discovered a crag that would offer so much to the bouldering community.
Discovered by Ranger Dave Archer in July 2013 during the Great Bouldering Boom!

★ Noahs Arch
A Fun overhanging traverse which could be your best bet for a warm up Start at the right most section of the overhang, with your hands on bums in the scooped out section. Make your way to the ceiling then traverse until you reach the evident choss factor. For safety reasons this is the end of the problem. Drop off here!

★ Out Of The Lions Jaw
A pumping build up of death defying proportions! start on the right about 1m from were the overhang starts. Match hands in the thin letter box around eye level. From here work diagonally up to the left following the line of pockets side pulls, etc. Hit the large ledge and get ready to tackle this lion of a top out. Head straight up the water eroded scoop and smear, pinch, slap and reach long for the good holds up top.

★★ Giant Slayer
For those shorter of stature but still mighty of heart Sit start at the common point under the left hand side of the first overhang. Power straight up to the thin slot and then to the rounded pocket on the orange bulging section. The holds along the crack line in the middle are out. Keep flowing up till you hit the long ledge line under the main section of the overhang and move left. Throw a big deadpoint left out to the solid hold just under the lip. From here topout with some committing mantling Power, Smooth hold placements and a committing top out, makes this an excellent problem Set: Ranger Dave Archer, 2014 FA: Ranger Dave Archer, 24 Apr 2014 | V6 | 4m | |||||

★★ A Rock To The Face
A pumpy lip traverse finished with a super challenging mantle! At the left overhang, start with hands matched on large rounded hold found under the right side of the overhang. Movee up to the lip of the over hang and once there traverse to the left until you are at hanging from the section that juts out the most. Mantle your face off!

★★ Judged As A Judas
Think it looks deceptive? Like its just going to break? This under cling is amazing, but is this a limited climb? Check it out and judge it for your self. Start with both hands matched on a solid jug at the left of the Overhang. Pull your feet up high and avoiding all the choss in front of you power up to the Judas of a undercling. Either you will hate it or you will love it. Using the undercling make dynamically or statically for the lip and breath deep for one of the hardest mantles here.
