Crag

A popular crag right next to the ferry landing bay. It has routes of all grades from, pleasant slabs to overhanging test pieces. The rock can sometimes be sharp, and the crag has the advantage of getting the shade for most of the afternoon. The water below the crag is beautifully clear and great for swimming.

A very pleasant crag with a variety of routes on rough rock, mostly in the easier grades, but also with a few excellent harder routes. The setting and views are magnificent, and the late arrival of the shade (after 1pm) means that you can have a leisurely start in the hotter months.
