Restricted Access
The landowners have expressed legitimate safety concerns with climbing in the gorge. The site contains a popular public road and the potential for passers-by to be hit by falling/dislodged rock is obvious. If you wish to climb or scramble in the pass, BMC advice is to limit visits to either very early or late in the day, midweek.
20m.
Free climbed a line of old rusty aid bolts (Bolt Route).
Now re-geared. Start at the black patch to the right of Forgive my Trespasses. Climb up and left to a jug, step up above this to undercuts in a small overlap. Stiff moves lead first left into a shallow groove then back up right to a twin ringbolt lower off.
