Montagu Routes

The Steeple

by

One of the most popular crags in Montagu. Excellent, easy to moderate, long routes on the slabby side and some very good harder routes on the steep side. Lovely grassy base, perfect for kids and picnics. Can get crowded on weekend summer afternoons.

Approach

From the convergence of the two paths, just follow the main path along the riverbank and you will reach The Steeple. Go around to the left of the crag to reach the back area.
