Rockfax Description
450m. The gully can be climbed in the wet, the limiting factor being the volume of water. Difficulty and interest increases with height as does the scenery, culminating in the Devil's Cauldron (Pitch 15). Only this pitch is VS, although more will feel like it in the wet. The gully starts at an altitude of 360m, with several easy pitches. Pitch 4 is topped by a huge chockstone, best climbed by the groove and crack on its left. Pitch 5, the Red Slab, climbs the left wall (25m). Above, a huge boulder blocks the gully. Climb a crack on the left wall about 6m back from the boulder, then step back right into the gully. The left fork is a short tributary; the true gully is the right fork. Pitch 8 is the Hundred Foot Pitch, where the stream forms a fine waterfall. Pitch 9 is the Piano Pitch. Cross the watercourse to the left wall, and above a small but beckoning pool make a right traverse, ending by a delicate move on to a sloping chockstone. At pitch 10, The Converging Walls, a ramp on the right leads to a 20m cave pitch, with narrowing walls and a waterfall at the back. A few metres out on the left wall is a small ledge. Gain the ledge and then bridge up, facing in, until it is possible to reach good holds on the right wall. This pitch can be avoided by a ridge on the left. Several short pitches then lead to the Devil's Cauldron, a singularly confined and impressive cleft. See below for an exit. © Rockfax
