A cliff with two contrasting sets of climbs. In the centre are the extensive and impressive old quarry workings, which offer some hard climbs on rock that is not always above suspicion. To left and right are the natural outcrops that offer more good routes, many in the friendlier lower grades. The cliff is not hugely popular, a sad accident of geography; if it was sat on the edge of the Burbage Valley it would see ten times the user visits. As it is, Pule Hill is a good choice (on the right day) for somewhere a little different.
