Avon Gorge

LimestoneFaces WtradsportHS to E6 6b

Bristol's urban crag, a great quarried limestone gorge beneath the Clifton Suspension Bridge. Famous for delicate, polished wall climbing where footwork and nerve count for more than strength, on ledgy walls up to 90m high. A historic trad venue with a unique city-centre atmosphere and quick evening access.
