Description
A large area consisting of isolated pinnacles, some easier old school trad lines and a couple of good faces, spread out across two tiers. If you like clipping bolts - this is a good area to head for - with The Gully and Mars Wall in close proximity.

Approche
<5 minutes
The best approach is now utilising a cairned/taped route, marked from the top of Rightman Buttress (the old route straight down from the zig-zag track high point in Bob's guidebook is overgrown, loose & crap!!). Locate the giant rock cairn, and stay at this level traversing upstream, passing across the head of a large gully.
You can rap from bolts above 'Prow' (bottom right, facing the river) if you can find them, or scramble down to the base of the Upper Tier via the upstream side of the cliffs.
To get to 'Thin Fiend' or 'Crucifix' pinnacles if walking in from the base - clamber through the the slot facing the water (there may be a fixed rope) at the far downstream end of the terrace.
To get to the Lower Tier cliffs - rap from bolts at the base of 'Prow'.
A few more rap accessed bolted lines are located only a stones throw away on the downstream face of The Gully, making this a convenient location if clipping bolts is your thing.
Descente
There are DBB rap anchors located at the top of Prow, Thin Fiend, Crucifix, When The Fat Lady Sings, and Start Running. It is also possible to walk to the base of most climbs via the upstream end of the cliffs. Some fixed ropes may be present to help navigate potentially slippery/exposed terrain.
