The crag lies on private land with no public right of access beyond the approach path, which is a public right of way.
Access is permitted only if the following conditions are met - it's is imperative that all climbers using the site adhere to these conditions :-
• Climbers must ask permission to climb, please pop into the farm and ask every time before climbing
• Large groups are not permitted. Park considerately, not blocking gates or access tracks. Keep noise to a minimum, (No music, bluetooth speakers or ghetto blasters!)
• Dogs to be strictly on leads at all times -some groups have turned up with dogs off lead when there are sheep, lambs and cows in the fields.
• Lack of activity during lockdown has led to an increase in vegetation on the crag and top outs. Some of this has been cleared without the landowner's blessing and was cleared during a time when farmers are not allowed to clear vegetation (nesting). Please ask at farmhouse if it ok to clear vegetation.

βeta: The giant block is crucial for gear and holds but with the amount of sandy rock scarring around it, it doesnt provoke much confidence. Shame, the rest of the route is great. | βeta? | |

βeta: A bit of a sandbag at 5a, 5b/c is more realistic. Still E1 though I would say. | βeta? | |
