Up and Down
20 minsThe South Face of Winspit is a steep and sunny section of cliff that has a number of good lines. Most of the better routes are steep and powerful, crossing low-level roof stacks before finishing up a vertical headwall. A few of the starts utilise cairns to reach the first holds, and these often need rebuilding. Guidebook page 283.
