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.

Deep in the cave sit start with left in the crack, right on a small gaston. Finish both hands on a large volume in the roof with legs still on the overhang. Opposite wall does not play a part.

βeta: The left undercut is wobbly, might pop at some point, be weary and don't lose it if it falls off so it can be glued back.

βeta: As was previously said, a lot of the difficulty is in the first move. Since someone built the landing up recently to be higher it's gotten easier. Especially with stacked pads...

βeta: 7B if started from sitting on one pad. Take some grades off if you start off two (or more!).
