The BMC has learned that palaeolithic man visited Barrow Scout Cove in Silverdale some 12,000 years before sport climbers: the unassuming cave and the area around the cave mouth are a scheduled site. The site is vulnerable so to preserve it and avoid any accidental damage, climbers have agreed not to go past route 14 (Pincher). Both Caveman and Going Underground must be avoided, other climbs to the left of the cave are still permitted.

8m. A technical start leads to easier moves above the second bolt. Very worthwhile route.

βeta: Since losing a hold the easier moves above the second bolt take longer to reach: there is another tricky move before respite. Hard 6a+ or even easy 6b.
