This area is called "Dimrill Stairs", as it reminds one of the place of the same name in "Lord of the Rings" There is a pair of pleasant cascading waterfalls.
The rock is low angle and ideal for easy leads. Routes are generally on the northern side of the waterfall. But there is room for short overhanging routes beside the waterfall. There is a 10m cave on the southern side of the waterfall, and ideal place for children to play.
