The Picnic Spot is the most social and sunny locale at the crag, where most beginners top-rope or make tentative leads. There are also some great more challenging lines.
Routes
| Reference | Title | Grade | Length | Pro | Quality | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WW | WWWomb with a View, 15 | 15 | 8m | 3 |
||
There are seven Picnic Spot routes, starting here and rightwards to Steam Punk. Classic smearing and palm-down manoeuvres make this challenging. Start on the short slab and use the crack right of the bolts. Finishes left up the spine. |
||||||
| SD | SDShellfish Desires, 16 | 16 | 22m | 3 |
||
Climb straight up the face to the vegetated ledge. This could feel harder if you are not used to this style of climbing. The last hold is a fossilized shell!
Carry on up the slab to top. Harder but still satisfying. |
||||||
| Taxadermist, 16 | 16 | 10m | 3 |
|||
The left route from the ledge above the first pitch of Shellfish Desires. Burly moves then smear up the easy groove. |
||||||
| Welcome to the Jungle, 21 | 21 | 17m | 5 |
|||
Clip the first two bolts of Girl on a Swing and head slightly left via a couple of smeary cruxes. |
||||||
| GS | GSGirl on a Swing, 18 | 18 | 11m | 3 |
||
Climb upwards then veer R-wards to finish. |
||||||
| GR | GRGumboot Revival, 21 | 21 | 19m | 5 |
||
Start on the ledge, climb through the steep ground to top out on the terrace. |
||||||
| Steam Punk, 18 | 18 | 12m | 5 |
|||
Step off the start stone an up the nice white-streaked face. The climb can be extended by moving right via a crux to the arete and finishing up Kingston Flyer at grade 22. |
