DESCRIPTION
29 Jun 2024
This area is composed of mainly extremely polished high quality limestone🪨with some rougher rock further away from the river. This leads to boulders where even very easy looking features can turn out to be very technical and surprisingly hard because of an almost total lack of footholds and very subtle texture. This will often leave you puzzled and confused as you try to find a hidden slopey ripple in the rock that will end up beeing the game changer, don't worry, it's how it goes here.😉 I would recommend this area for beginners that haven't climbed outdoors yet, the easier blocs are very high quality and the rock is very very good but the technical nature of the climbing might make it quite hard for the first few days. This is the best area if it has just rained🌧️and every other crag is dripping wet. Here the rock isn't at all porus and doesn't have cracks that can seep for a long time, this means that 1-2 hours after it stops raining most boulders will be climbable (also high humidity can be wierdly helpful on those slopers). The best season for hard climbing ❄️ is from late autumn to early spring, except for the depths of winter, as the style is unforgiving of bad conditions. For a more relaxed day ⛱️ of climbing the middle of summer can be great as after doing some moderate climbs you can enjoy the beautiful river🏞️that snakes between the boulders.

ACCESS
29 Jun 2024
The area is all on public land with no particular access restrictions, in the summer it's a popular swimming spot🌊so try to not bother the locals and try to take up as little of the parking spaces as possible, in all other seasons it's not frequented by anybody. There unfortunately is a bit of trash on the riverbed, if everybody takes a bit away after every session we'll end up with a nicer place so please if you see stuff that shouldn't be there take it home with you 😉
