Restricted Access

Following a fatality, the BMC agreed the following conditions with the landowner - failure to comply with these requirements could result in a complete ban on climbing:

  • No large groups
  • No outdoor education or instructional groups
  • No dogs
  • All climbers must descend on foot - NO abseiling

The North East England Guide provides warning on the stability of the following routes: Pianissimo to Kestrel, Wings, BBC, Crackers and Gone. Many of the routes have steep grassy top outs.

Accend the two Lower Roofs pulling hard with plenty of gear. Belay on a large ledge. Go left and ascend the large upper roof using one rusted peg for protection (not as bad as it sounds). Gain the juggy hand holds above the roof placing a larger cam (4) and ascend the top section with loads of gear and amazing positions. This exposure on the top I believe gives it the E2 grade. The top section is well worth the effort!
