Access Banned
The landowner has informed the BMC that they do not permit climbing on the sections of crag which are not mapped as open access (i.e. the whole crag with the exception of the West Crag). The area contains well used public footpaths (which pass through the crags), but deer stalking takes place between November and March. If you are asked to leave by Estate representatives during this period it woud be wise to do so. Please report any access difficulties to the BMC.
9m.
High danger on the underside of the overpoweringly steep prow. The head-down, inverted nature of the moves near the lip of the prow makes this, objectively, one of the more dangerous Huntsham solos. Blast right from the trunk beneath the arete and ape rightwards up a series of spaced holds to a double-handed jug at 6 metres. Gain poor pebbly holds directly above and then a jug on the lip. A horizontal break above leads to a leftward swing and rock-up; one more move gains the tree at the top.
