IntroductionA small but fun bouldering area. There are a number of semi-isolated blocks up to about 4m, with a main cave that has been the focus of development. As usual for new areas be wary of loose rock. |
HistoryThere is some evidence of previous climbing, but the cave was discovered and developed by Dave Hughes in 2014. |
