< Outlying Areas and The Knife | Pisa Wall >
The recessed bay to the right of the entry has a whole series of hard and bold face climbs plus the classic crack of Dateline. The climbs are soloed by the talented, though the rest of us are inclined to top-rope them. The bay is home to many of the hardest climbs in the quarry, the amount of chalk on them shows how many good climbers there out there. Despite the grades given here many would get very respectable E-grades if they were established anywhere else.
