This whole area is popular with the general public due to its folly, viewpoints etc. The National Trust has concerns over the state of the rock and dangers to the public. Do not climb on The Old Man (it continues to shed rock and lean with increasing angle each year). In addition, the area also contains a few disused quarries inc; Millstone Quarry is not NT land and ownership is uncertain. If you climb here be sensitive to the privacy of the people in the bungalows to the north.

17m. Start at the Old Man's feet and climb the steep frontal groove to pull over the overhang to meet Spiral Route. Step up and then left onto the face to finish as for Spiral Route.

FA. J.Sutton, Harold Drasdo, Bob Downes, Tony Mulam 1960.
