Most of the routes in this area are overhanging and range from 16 to 34. You will be able to climb here with a 50 metre rope most of the time. Cheesdale is an exception with some longer routes.

The Grotto
The Grotto has a great variety of sport climbs for everyone, with grades ranging from 13 to 34 and with some of the routes going up to 30 metres, so a 60 metre rope would be a good choice for the area. The access for all the sectors is family friendly and spread along the Grotto are a couple of routes for the little ones to enjoy. The ideal season for this crag would be Mar-Nov.
Things that caught my attention:
Roots of some trees basically encapsulating big boulders
Nice walk from the upper grotto to P.C
The colosseum
Conehead and the Barbiturates wall
