Restricted Access

The Willersley area is owned by the Arkwright Society. It is essential that climbers do not block gateways with parked cars and that disturbance is keep to a minimum. Access negotiations have been on-going between the BMC and the Arkwright Society, and climbers continue to access the crag. If you are asked to leave, please remain courteous and report the incident to the BMC.

38m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
This direct version misses out the difficult initial wall. The lower section was originally an alternative start to Excavator but has become a popular way of doing Pleasure Dome.
1) 5b, 24m. Climb a vague crack-line to a bulge and peg and join the original version to the stance on Pothole Wall.
2) 5b, 14m. As for Pleasure Dome. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
This is the modern direct version of Pleasure Dome which misses out the initial wall. If you climbed the E3 original version then you may need to re-log your ascent on the new logbook entry called Pleasure Dome.

βeta: The line in NL pthot topo is wrong low down below the bulge - it should be further left. The description is accurate though.
