Great killing for a friar, as they are weak against crush and they are thrust. Also Xcal is nearby so you can sell loot often or hit DF when you get it.
Disadvantages are you will occasionally get killed by a passing hib/mid gank group and Cliff Crawlers WILL call and have giant speed, so things can turn ugly fast. They don't call all that often though, about as often as Deep Goblins in Barrows.
In my experience the best blace to fight them is near the treeline where the Grimwood keepers on the side of the mountain not facing the road, if they call there you usually don't get more than 1 add.
