Basalt
Nice crag for winter, especially if you are moving between the sixth and eighth grade.
Description
Vertical
Crack
Dihedral
Afternoon sun
Always shady
Morning sun
Sheltered from wind
This rather remote climbing spot in a gorge with a small creek features comparatively new routes in the mid and upper grades. Route heights often touch 30m. Climbing smooth faces and clean-cut dihedrals dominate. Thanks to the two opposing walls you will find shade or sun as you wish.
It is more recommended to go on winter or on cloudy days. The rock needs a bit of time to cool down until the shadow comes.

From the parking walk up crappy stairs at the left of the dam and follow the upper reservoir western shore along a narrow path on a ledge (exposed in places) and some water pipes. After 10 min the path dissolves in the riverbed. Proceed for another 200 m and you stand between the two walls of the gorge.
