Bay Tree Towers

The Word: Ho hum.
Sun/shade: Shady until mid afternoon.
Wet weather options: None.
Style of Climbs: 10m-20m mixed routes. Bring brackets.
Grades: 16-24
Best Route(s): -

The Details: Worth a visit cause access is so convenient, but otherwise its not great. The Crack (* 19) looks like a really nice section of climbing. Descent for all routes is down the gully right of Double Exposure - a tricky downclimb, or rap off big tree.

Access: Park halfway down the big hill just W of Mt Vic. 1min walk.

Described L to R, facing the cliff.

Cream 10m 16 (YP)
Ok. Carefully over dodgy rock to BB, then a big stretch up L to jug under little roof. On to top.

* Double Exposure 20m 17 (OS)
Good after the initial choss. BB, then up and R to horizontal breaks (good cams, but a touch pumpy to place). A hard slab move to 2nd BB, then step R to arete, and nice tricky balancy moves lead past final BB.
