The restriction is unsigned and applies to all routes on Right Wall (Peregrine Way to Prudence). The remaining routes including the popular scramble and descent are unrestricted.
35m.
Ten metres below the start of Gabbro, a grassy ramp slants up rightwards below the buttress - this is at the level of the big chockstone in the scree gully. Scramble up this for 15 metres to a leveling below a short slab guarded by a tiny juniper.
(4c) Climb the slab and continue to a small cave. Step right and pull up the steep rib on shelving holds to gain and follow a fine slab. Continue up easier ribs to the top.

βeta: Left hand 4b line through the cave as described in the FRCC guidebook is no longer safe to climb. The block step up to the slab sheared in half as my climbing partner stood on it while leading the route (2nd Sept 2023). The large microwave-sized block that then fell down the crag nearly decapitated me as belaying. What remains of the block is now extremely unstable, with further loose rock around it. There will be further rockfall if it is touched! | βeta? | |
