Description:

An excellent soloing/bouldering or top-roping area with potential at higher grades. Short grey walls upstream from the defensive wall and at the bottom of the stains. The first route starts immediately behind the lines.

Ethic: inherited from Victoria Lines

As with most of Malta bolting is discouraged, a few exceptions are allowed

  1. As rap points, and

  2. where ground strikes are likely

but otherwise there are enough points to place gear
