Seasons
One of the most popular areas on Dover Island on account of low grades, low topouts, and flat landings, but fankly is a nightmare in the summer. Faces directly south and recieves all day roasting sun. Bulldog is a slight reprieve but the crux is a greasy nightmare. Best avoided at mid day.

Dive into the groovy Slime Cave, playfully spar with Gollum for starting grips. Match the roof seam, just as it blossoms in the cavern's depths. Groove along this edge, merge into Bulldog – it's like a rockin' Requiem For A Dream, swapping pride for sweet V-points! (FA Nick Sagar 2003)
