Restricted Access

Finding the access can be tricky but once the short climb down to the upper ledge is located the rest is straight forward. Due to in isolated nature the cliff top stakes that are essential for belays and abseils are often in a poor state or miss, it is good practice to check before you start climbing. Also Rockfall has effected some climbs.

Bolting is only really allowed in the main cave and quarry wall with many harder route still having rotting fixed gear in place.  Any route will need cleaning after a nesting season.

Rockfax Description
A good, bold wall climb right of the slab. Start 7m right of Zig-Zag, at an alcove. Climb the left-hand side of the alcove, then go up a steep wall moving right to an undercut. Gain the slab and follow an easy flake before moving right and climbing another steep wall to a small groove. Move up left to finish. © Rockfax
