Restricted Access

Fly Wall and Woodcroft Quarry: the current owners have not given permission to climb on this section of crag. If you do climb on this part of the crag, please be careful not to damage any fences in the area.

GO Wall: topping out now allowed year round for all routes from Feline/Jackal leftwards. King Kong ab. bolts removed. No topping out any time for right hand end – ab. stations in place where required. A large rockfall has recently (Jan 2013) been reported at the righthand side of the Pedestal on Go Wall - care should be taken with any remaining loose rock that may still be in place in this area.

North Wall: following a change of ownership of the house above this section of crag, the previous arrangement to exit through it’s garden is not longer possible. Please do not top out on any North Wall routes - only abseil descent from below the top of the crag is allowed. For those who don't wan't to climb above the Great Ledge, an abseil descent can be made from one of the two bolted abseil stations above The Tap or Joe’s Route. Two further abseil stations have been established just below the top of North Wall (using rope slings and rings around trees) allowing the last pitch of the more popular routes to be climbed and an abseil descent to the Great Ledge be made. 

All rock north of the North Buttress and south of Fly Wall is privately owned and all climbing is prohibited.

Rockfax Description
Start in the centre of the narrow wall and avoid Just 'Kill Em' Jones and the arete on the right. Climb direct on small holds to the overhang. Move past the overhang and up the wall to a shared lower-off with Just "Kill Em" Jones. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A fun route for the purists amongst us. Avoid temptation left and right all the way and you will find pleasure in this tough little number. If the temptation is too great, don't beat yourself up too much.
Start in the centre of the narrow wall avoiding Just 'Kill Em' Jones and Bill Stokes. Keep a direct line on small holds to the overhang. Continue direct with some difficulty to the upper wall with a further tricky move to the lower off

βeta: Resist the temptation to take the easier options from start to finish on this wee little route, instead of the direct line and you will be rewarded.
