Uphill
5 minsA couple of huge boulders that lean against each other and present an impressive pair of faces towards the valley. The routes are short in stature but large in impact, runners are in short supply and most of the routes are soloed by the suitably talented. Further right are some more walls and slabs. These offer a mixture of bouldering and routes. Guidebook page 90.
