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.
Rockfax Description
Fine technical climbing up the blank arching wall. Use a couple of chipped pockets on the right to climb the lower leaning wall leftwards, pass the bulge via wild mantel and finish direct. It is popular when there is a snow drift and it can be highballed at f7A. There is even a left-hand version called Snow Blind Mice, f7B - this hasn't yet been done 'snow-less'. © Rockfax

βeta: IRT: Jon Read Maybe it should read, hard for the long legged. Getting feet up over the bulge to stand up is tough. Lower moves easier for the tall though i would imagine. IRT: Chris Craggs I assume you mean the undercut like chip just below the bulge. Its been there for as long as i have looked at the route whihc is about 2 years. Not sure whether it is actually a chip or just a bit of gritstone oddness. You don't need it at allll however to climb the route, so would seem odd to chip it there. | βeta? | |
