Dates: 1 February to 31 July

Reason: Nesting Birds

There is a nest pair of Coughs 2m right of the Grip, please stay clear of this area until the chicks have fledged. 

36m. The steep crack leads into a belay in the corner above. The route then takes a line left under the roof and out onto easier ground. Big protection will help for the first pitch and the belay.
P1) 5a 18m Head up the initial crack to a sloping ledge. Follow the crack up to the right into the corner to a stance (crux).
P2) 4c 18m Follow the bottom of the roof to the left to join the arete and a crack. The climbing in the groove around from the arete maybe harder than 4c due to the recent lose of a hold. Continue up the groove to easier ground to finish.

βeta: I managed to pull a hold out of the crux groove on the second pitch whilst seconding. Second pitch now seems to be harder, so be aware.
