Restricted Access

Access is unknown although signs at the entrance discourage you from entering.

The lady at the top claimed to to the land owner and was unhappy that we were trespassing. She said access had been given to those who had asked, but not to those who didn't. I apologised and told her we were not aware this was required.

Apparently we should have known and she claimed it was on the website. No idea what her name is, we finished the route and left, encouraged by the fact she was throwing branches down!

UKC Logbook Description
Start on the right side of a sooty strip roof at a black slab. Climb this via some technical shennanigans passing the white slab to another roof with a shallow groove and rib. Go over the roof and move rightwards and then back left and up for the belay. Maybe harder for the short.

βeta: Needs a first bolt. The current first bolt is dangerously high and you need to pull hard on some friable looking rock to get to it. Best to pre-clip with a clipstick for now.
