About
A small quarried gorge. The better climbing is on the west facing pocketed wall. The east facing mesh wall is of a lesser quality.
Directions
From the Corbett Wood car park follow the main forest trail below the car park. After a short way the entrance to the White Tower quarry appears on your right, a small path leads left into the obvious Ass Creek.
