The Veranda is one of the wave of smaller crags that are now being developed all over Portland. Many of these smaller venues are remarkably close to some of the more popular areas and cater for climbers looking for routes in the lower-to-mid grades. The rock is often good and, although the routes have taken some unearthing, the lines will clean up quickly as the cliff becomes more popular. The Veranda has a great location with an expansive grass base. Guidebook page 130.
