description

Named because "the higher your bracket, the more you're taxed". No brackets required now after the re-bolt with rings. Sustained climbing starts at 'From Here to Eternity' then traverses right at half height then up on thin edges to very balancy crux, up to chains.

ethic

Trad and mixed routes abound here with the occasional sport route. A number of routes are readily accessed to set up top ropes. As an older crag, the grades may feel quite stiff, so take this into account. The crag is within a national park, so no dogs, no smoking and use the toilets if you need to go.
