Climbing here has been taking place for many years, though it remained a relatively unknown venue until access was formally granted in 2008, when a handful of problems were developed. In recent years, it has grown in popularity, with many more boulders and problems being added. The area continues to evolve, with harder climbs emerging, including lines such as Jim Pope’s Lupin (8B).
