Located under the Suspension Bridge, this fine crag is home to some Avon Gorge classics. The rock is un-quarried, solid and the lines are peppered with a multitude of pockets and threads. Protection is generally good. Due to the tunnel that extends over the road below the crag it is not as noisy as might be anticipated. Guidebook page 68.
