Most climbers will be amazed when they first see the impressive steep side of the gorge. This huge wall overhangs for all of its length and should offer some major stamina pitches. In reality some of the rock is loose and crumbly, much of the gear is old and the majority of the routes have not seen much traffic in recent times and it is often out of condition.
