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 as for "Hula’s hop". A flat square edge directly above the mantel shelf's big jugs leads to a hidden but good hold to the right of the round bulge. From this, step up onto the line of jugs and finish easily rightwards and up (top out).
