Top Tier
The huge cliff up top visible from the road. Somehow it got missed until now. Sun until 3PM (summer and winter), though seems to get clouds and a breeze in summer, and full sun in winter. |

The French Touch area |

★★★ The French Touch
The tasty slab. The first route you encounter as you get to the crag. Cryptic and fingery. |
18
★★★ Greenpoint
The crag warmup. The bolted crack. Requires varied crack climbing techniques. Despite appearances, it's possible to face climb around the chimney and avoid the grovel. |

★ Tick Magnet
Starts up roof crack (crux) and then climbs the technical face above. The rock isn't great for the first two bolts, though it's cleaning up quickly. Perfect rock above. |
21
★ Manfern
The perfect looking little face just around the corner. Surprisingly atmospheric and exposed for its diminutive size, as it's mostly climbed up the exposed arete. Bolting is a bit less friendly than the other routes. |

★ Trade Secrets
The aesthetic arete covered in flakes just left of the (unbolted) big slab. Looks like a slab, climbs like it's steep. |
21
★ No Easy Roots
The route with the giant hole down low. A beta-dependent crux. |
23
★★ Back to School
Another 10m along brings you to this route, the only route on an otherwise undercut long buttress. 22 if you start at the second bolt. Start traversing in from the far right. |

★★★ Rutón
Continue past the undercut buttress and it's the first route around the corner. Start up the corner crack, then voyage up and out onto the face. Varied climbing on some of the best rock here. Rutón is Spanish for "bloody great route". |
21
★★ Something's Off
Starts on the ledge above (fixed rope). Climbs the obvious arcing crack. Bring a #1 or #2 cam for between the final bolt and the anchor if you're not confident jamming (ledge fall possible). A very good and airy route marred by a yucky start. Walk up the choss ledge for 2 bolts, then start laybacking. The rock is Grampians quality from bolt 3 onwards. |
