Stone Farm

The tricky Key Wall in Stone Farm Pinnacle
This weekend we went to Stone Farm near East Grinstead. Another outstanding sandstone crop, where the word 'sandstone' really achieves the essense of its meaning, because literally the rock 'sands away' from beneath your hands and feet. The rocks are very eroded, and the grades seem misleading, probably because of the erosion. Expect a fierce struggle while climbing 'easy' routes like Key Wall (4c) in the amazing Stone Farm Pinnacle. The setting of the rocks is impressive, they are very exposed and you can enjoy amazing views down to the Weir Wood Reservoir. Visiting the rocks is a very nice experience.
