A one route crag, Kingway finds a solid way up an otherwise chossy crag. Gets the sun in the afternoon.
Leave the A1 Bern, Zurich motorway at Oensingen and drive towards Balsthal. After 2 km turn left at the lights and immediately left again on a small road and park just after this road crosses back over the main road. Walk up the small road for a few hundred metres until a path on the right leads you to the crag. About 25 mins from parking the car. It is not allowed to park on the road under the crag. The crag is on private land so please obey this rule for others to enjoy continued access to the crag.
