A crag with both sport and traditional climbing routes. In the Main area, trad and sport routes share lower-offs.
restricciones
Not too far from Horse-Thief quarry on the same side of the road, climbing is allowed, with no access issues.

Best to be reached by car. There are laybys on the LHS of the road as approaching from Stoney village. The crag is on the same side right-hand side as Horse-Thief and Horseshoe quarry, cross the road and follow the well-trodden path.
Ética
Being a national park, consult the local guide books and the regional access database for any closures. As usual, Nesting birds, and protected flora should be preserved. Some crags are on Private land, and therefore act reasonably if asked to leave.
