Restricted Access

Access to the crag is sensitive given that is is very close to nearby houses - residents have in the past confronted climbers and asked them to leave.

Please make a particular effort to be quiet at this crag (especially avoiding shouting and bad language), take all litter home with you and don't use the crag or it's surrounds as a toilet. Keeping a low profile here is a good idea to help develop good realtionships with local residents and avoid access issues in the future.

Two useful links for further info are the online version of the Cicerone Leicestershire Climbs guidebook and the new Leicestershire Climbs website.

12m. A good route covering totally new ground on a once thought to be ‘worked out’ crag. Climb up to undercuts in the roof via a shot hole at 2m. Move up through the roof and continue heading rightwards to gain a good ledge. From the ledge move up to a bolt and make good moves up the headwall to the top. The grade is presuming the bolt is in situ if not then E6.
Do not cut the ivy back that is in front of the bolt. The bolt has been put there so that it is less noticeable and is therefore less likely to be chopped by non-climber friendly locals.
