"Bon Echo is a cliff 2km in length that rises 100m vertically out of a lake. It is not everyone's cup of tea. The rock is never to be trusted fully, even on well-travelled routes; protection is rarely abundant; the climbing involves awkward moves on sloping holds that often seem to face the wrong way; retreat is problematical (unless you are adept at swimming while wearing a full rack); and the exposure can be very intimidating. Despite (or perhaps because of) this, it is a very rewarding place at which to climb, but not a place at which to push your limits." (
