In reply to Hotbad Peteel: You dont realise how hard it is to develop a crag like this, hundreds of dead dogs and cats had to be cleared from the foot of the crag before we could even approach the routes, plus numerous very smelly and unidentifiable objects in plastic bags.
My mitigating circumstances is that this was in the foot and mouth outbreak before the last one, about 1800 I guess, and you could not climb any where else in the whole of the Peak.
