Couldn't figure out the chimney so "avoided on the right" and glad I did so that I could get onto the next section, which was an absolute delight! Proper bridging. Really fun and satisfying. Lovely climb. The start may be a little tricky, getting onto the rock and being above a little hole / cave section.

Interesting bridging in lower part of the wide chimney. Shame it was very green and wet in the top part.

Did PP before but without the chimney start, so this time did the chimney. Not convinced squeezing inside the thing and wriggling is how everyone does it (size is an issue!!!!) but thats how I did it. Had to take all my gear off in order to fit in! Lindsey had fits giggling but declined to follow.

absolutely lovely little route, really good fun, deserves more stars, difficult to find the route from guidebooks which is probably the only reason it doesnt get more traffic.
