PM Shade
Aspect and Weather
The crag goes into the shade at around midday, be sure to be out of the park before closing time or you will be locked in.
Climbing
Some of the bolts at this wall may be quite old, be careful what you might be whipping on. Some of the routes here have artificial holds on them that weren't necessarily created by the first ascensionist.
Base
The base is slightly bushy and can have ticks on it. Be sure to check yourself!
