Opis:
The Frome river cuts through the landscape north east of Bristol, creating a valley whose sides are scattered with sandstone outcrops and old quarries. For many climbers in Bristol this quiet place has defined the essence of esoteric and been shunned in comparison to Avon Gorge. The rock here is dirty, frequently wet, and often breaks unexpectedly. The occasional whiff of sewage can be smelt in the air. Or perhaps the ghosts of one of Bristol’s most haunted spots have scared everyone away?
