résumé

South facing Sheltered crag with easy access. Sandstone.

description

Extensive venue with low grades from 4 to 6c primarily. There are a bunch of 7a and one 7b. The style is bouldery and juggy. It is advised not to climb right after a period of wet weather, as the sandstone is unstable until dry and pieces of rock are more likely to come loose.

Limitations de l'accès

No issues.

approche

Once parked at the Neverland Captain Hook's pirate ship play area, or at the Camera Obscura parking area, follow the path east and turn right along the wall of the cementery. Then turn left to walk under the trees to reach the crag.
