Restricted Access

One of the more convenient and quick-drying crags in the area. Good sport climbing as well as a reasonable selection of trad routes. The popular routes tend to be polished, especially the starts of those on the Lower Lift.

Whitebeams (a rare species of tree) grow on the crag and are an important feature of the SSSI. Please do not cut any trees on or around the crag without gaining permision first as this could result in access issues in future. If you want to carry out cleaning which involves trees, please contact the BMC access team first through access@thebmc.co.uk.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 15 February to 15 June

Reason: Nesting Birds

There is a tawny owl nesting on "It's Over for Jehovah". Avoide all routes between "Head full of hedda" and "What you think"

13m. An interesting route: some good moves. Left of the steep calcited wall of Tight Man’s Tips is a low nose of rock below a wall; take the nose direct using a positive hold or two and a long reach to get established on the nose; then climb directly up the wall, via an overlap, to an abseil station.

N.B. the bouldery start, if done direct as described, is much harder than the remainder of the route. Use of the crack just to the left reduces the overall grade to a more consistent 6/6+: this now has its own entry in the database and can be logged as a route in its own right.

βeta: Tried doing the bouldery start static but realised it’s much easier with a dyno especially if you’re short like me. Great route though flows well.
