Access is unknown although signs at the entrance discourage you from entering.
The lady at the top claimed to to the land owner and was unhappy that we were trespassing. She said access had been given to those who had asked, but not to those who didn't. I apologised and told her we were not aware this was required.
Apparently we should have known and she claimed it was on the website. No idea what her name is, we finished the route and left, encouraged by the fact she was throwing branches down!

βeta: A significant element of the small but crucial right-hand crimp between the 4th and 5th bolt departed company today - a smaller and more sloping section of the hold is all that remains. That section, the set-up for the crux - will now be considerably harder as a result. The broken bit was rescued and has been placed in the hole at the start of the route for repairs. It's been wrapped in light brown grease-proof paper for easy of identification. No plans to return for the foreseeable so if anyone in the area with prerequisite skills and resin then knock yourselves out... | βeta? | |

βeta: 28/8/22 The belay has been improved by adding 2 maillons and rings but still needs a long maillon to replace the steel carabiner. We decided not to add a lower bot since this would be in the same bit of rock as the 1st. Also glued and up 2 wobbly holds including the crucial juggy side pull you clip the 4th and 5th bolt off. | βeta? | |

βeta: Good climbing but some of the rock is pretty suspect. A big boulder came off the upper section as I climbed past, wasn\'t using it as either a foot or hand hold so just came off when I knocked out with my passing foot. Its likely that more of the rock in the upper section may come off before long too as it looks like it could go in places, though didn\'t come across any other obviously loose blocks | βeta? | |
