Restricted Access
WARNING- (see comments) The semi-detached boss at the left of the crag is moving away and will eventually fall apart. Please DO NOT climb or hang on it - if you pull it off, it could kill you.
No problems with access. From Edinburgh head to Blackford hill. The quarry can be found on the south side besides Blackford Glen.
Park either in the Edinburgh Observatory car park, on Braid Hills drive or on Blackford Glen Road - park in designated areas, don't block the access to the farms and to Edinburgh Council waste centre.
Sit-start on two small positive pocket edges just down and right of the big mantel shelf. Slap up to slopers/edges above. Reach for crimps on the round bulge above (hidden crimpy side pull LH). Hop up onto the mantel shelf and top out as per "Rock over".
