1 Day Climbing Tour

Another mega appraoch: it only takes a few minutes to get from the car park to the start of the route, which introduces itself gallantly with an easy warm-up pitch (5a). The remains 12 pitches follow an amazing system of cracks and rock steps, all the way to the top. After a long break, it's back down: here we must abseil back down the same way we came, rope length by rope length. So we get to inspect the route again. At the bottom we simply retrace out steps back to the parking. A strenuous and beautiful day of climbing, with very little effort!
