Restricted Access

The owners of this site have errected signs stating "no climbing" and there is a history of bolts being damaged by contractors acting for the landowners to discourage climbing. The main concerns from the owners is the potential civil liability that may arise from climbing at the site. BMC are currently in negotiations with agents acting for the owners to secure an access agreement. Please report any incidents or altercations to the BMC but also be prepared to be asked to leave if representatives of the owners are present.

βeta: 3 brick sized holds broken off today. No change in the grade but there are other loose blocks to be aware of. Like lots of the routes here very close to neighbouring routes

βeta: Could do clean. Need to put left foot on ledge straight in front at tricky section, instead of far out to the left, and then go for high right foot.
