Restricted Access

The landowners have expressed legitimate safety concerns with climbing in the gorge. The site contains a popular public road and the potential for passers-by to be hit by falling/dislodged rock is obvious. If you wish to climb or scramble in the pass, BMC advice is to limit visits to either very early or late in the day, midweek.

40m. Start 10m left of Berlin Wall/Checkpoint Charlie up turfy ledges to the obvious corner between the two main butresses. Continue up the steep corner till things ease and belay on the rock outcrop before stepping onto the top.

Note: the route is heavily reliant on frozen turf, so please do not climb in marginal conditions
