The Details:This would be a great daytrip crag if it was near some other cities, but considering what is on offer elsewhere in the Blueys (eg just around the corner!), it's not really that great. It is one of the few shady cliffs in the Blueys, but unfortunately there's only a few routes of note.

Access: 15min walk. As for Piddington, and just after the chopped steps head left down the steep gullies, veering left.

Described L to R, facing the cliff.

* This Sporting Life 50m 20 (OS)
A fine route. 1) (* 12m 19) Great climbing, thin moves, blank sections, and quite sustained. Too many bolts! 2) (* 35m 20) Step L, up slab past FH to choss and PR. Pull onto face and prepare for the pump! Some steep moves trend R over bulge, then less interesting horizontal moves lead to a rest. (The corner on the R is off route!) Continue up past a few more bolts as the holds get bigger and your arms get weaker - this ain't a route you'll be hanging around on the top out! Great stuff.
