This whole area is popular with the general public due to its folly, viewpoints etc. The National Trust has concerns over the state of the rock and dangers to the public. Do not climb on The Old Man (it continues to shed rock and lean with increasing angle each year). In addition, the area also contains a few disused quarries inc; Millstone Quarry is not NT land and ownership is uncertain. If you climb here be sensitive to the privacy of the people in the bungalows to the north.

20m, 2 pitches. A unique outing. From the left-hand end on the steps, climb up left to gain a ledge from the base of a slab. Move left and down, go round the corner and move up another slab to the left shoulder (possible belay). Step up, then move out right onto the forehead and finish direct.

FA. K.Maskery 1960.
