4 out of 5 stars Watch out for the raspberry bushes

Due to lack of use there is a lot of raspberry and other prickly bushes growing on the bottom half of P1. The webbing on belay/rap station at the top of P1 is quite old, bring some extra to back it up. The bolts are in good shape though.
The folks at Mountain View B&B are great and allowed us to launch our canoe from there place.
