A small
quarried outcrop situated on Rabbit Hill to the south of Kyloe Crags.
Unfortunately the rock is variable in quality. Park at Holborn on the Chatton-Kyloe
road. A farm track leads to the crag in 10 minutes.

Close Encounters
8m E2

From the
sandy corner reach the thin crack and climb it, escaping left at its top. A good
route making a visit worthwhile.

The Ayes Have It
E7/8 7a
Climb the
centre of the wall to the right of Close Encounters via the two prominent
eyes.
Powerful and
dynamic climbing is needed to gain the eye from where easier climbing leads to
the top.

Climb Close
Encounters and reach a large pocket directly above its thin crack, stride right
on large sandy holds and pull up to the break. Climb the wall above past a thin
crack. Lunacy!

The corner
and its right wall are loose and unpleasant. Further right the rock improves
again and provides three routes on a short wall.
