Don't bother using a rope, the only hard bit is the bouldery start, then it's almost a gentle walk.

Weird dark rout that feels like a cave when your in. Laybacking crack at the bottom 5a grade ish. Really narrow dark tunnel out to a chimney. A bit weird, but different, quite fun. Need people to spot at the bottom.

Worth going to Froggatt just to climb this :) Seems very unlikely from the ground - the starting crack was wet & slimey and pitch black nothingness above! Forgot a head torch, so the middle section involved hunting around blindly with my feet. Great! :)
