Approach includes steep scree. Belay station is slanted. Morning sun, afternoon shade. Note that first route has only 2 bolts when reported as 6. Easy setup, as most routes can be lead and then a TR setup for neighboring route. Furthest right route requires a 70m rope. Great climbing with great views! A popular place, expect other parties on the wall.
The focus is to cover the introduction to outdoor top rope (TR) rock climbing. Ropes will be set up for you and we will give instruction/review of belay technique.
