Restricted Access

Limited parking. Do not block passing places or the crofter's vehicle access to the moorland on the opposite side of the road. Approach through a gate a couple of hundred metres up the road from the isolated cottage.

Some seasons there is a cormorant nest on Spantastic, and another nest down and right of Lucy in the Sky. Check before throwing in an abseil rope.

50m, 2 pitches. Start as for Lucy In The Sky. Almost immediately, head diagonally rightwards through white-patched rock past a good spike and so up a crack. Then rightwards underneath grass ledges to belay on the arete. Follow this to the top as for Raining Men.

βeta: At the spike it seems obvious to go up and right but actually it’s much easier (if much less obvious and a little unlikely-looking) to traverse rightwards about 2-3m at which point all becomes clear.
