About Cheddar Gorge(OS):
|
Sadly, this cliff is closed to climbing from Easter till October because the cliff is directly above the road and unsuspecting tourists. Climbing at the top end of the gorge is usually tolerated, but on hot, crowded days, the police will usually act to prevent climbing. Over 400 routes up to 400 feet long on mostly sound rock. Some vegetation exists because of the long stretches between climbing seasons. Lots of Extremes, with an ample supply of V Diffs, and many classic VS and HVS lines. Descents can take a while, and is difficult in the dark. Be aware, Cheddar is a major tourist area with it's caves, cliffs, and of course it's cheese. |
