Restricted Access

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.

Seasonal Restrictions

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.

A bit of a tussle especially at the bulge. Wearing a helmet tends to compound the difficulties and enrich the language. © Rockfax

βeta: Well named. Don't climb it in a cycling helmet as you wont be able to turn your head once in the crack. Oh dear.

βeta: Really not that bad. Very well protected. Top bulge is the crux (due to lack of footholds).

βeta: Fun route which looks like it will be a lot nastier from below than it is. The top bulge is a tad tricky.

βeta: Pumpy and a fun struggle through the bulge. The challenge is to try to do it without swearing!
