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.

βeta: Mild steel abseil stakes both dangerously loose and heavily corroded. No redundancy. Retreated rather than risking our party, massive shame as route looks amazing. Please fix soon locals!

βeta: The initial step round the corner is now missing a handhold. Trundled a big loose block on the initial step right round the corner. Discovered that it was loose by pulling on what looked like an obvious handhold. Hope it wasn’t a key handhold for the route, shouldn’t be, as managed without it, but thought I’d flag it on here just in case.
