Adultworld

Overhanging 45 Minute Uphill walk GPS: -32.158538,19.025484 This fun little crag has been gagging to be climbed as it involves some titilating jug fondling. It has a pleasant base which provides ample room and positions for spectators to watch the climbers grunt and pant through these highly satisfying routes. It was discovered by Andy Davies and overhangs about 8m in 24m – don’t be fooled by the picture alongside.

How to get there

At Rocklands, walk up to Bastille and then carry on West past the “Vice” overhang on your right through some boulders to “Armed Response”. Proceed South up a gentle slope along the faint path through more boulders for 100m and you will see the wall.
