No access problems. The area is part of the Eastern Edges SSSI designated for its assemblage of breeding birds - please make sure dogs are under control to protect birds and sheep: the grazier has reported losses.
Reason: Nesting Birds
Ring ouzel nest sites change quickly and frequently as they often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any of the nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.
Rockfax Description
A two-move-wonder starting right of First Crack. It has small holds and the odd useful pocket. Low in the grade but a bit bold. © Rockfax

βeta: I'd recommend the direct start (as per old BMC Froggart guide), it makes the route more interesting, but not harder. | βeta? | |

βeta: The slot takes a standard wallnut 1 sideways with a near perfect fit and is VS. The sequence to the pocket is 4c and not as reachy as I expected, just a little tricky to spot. | βeta? | |
