UKC Logbook Description
Please remove any ivy growth. There was a major removal of the ivy patch taking multiple days winter 2024/25 which had completely covered the entire lower section of this climb (with permission of the National Trust landowner and Natural England thanks to the British Mountaineering Council access team for arranging this). Ledges on the left also largely dug out and grass removed. . Threads replaced Jan 2025 with 6mm Aramid Static cord, (Aramid static cord is both stronger 17KN vs 7.5KN for standard 6mm cord and much more cut resistant). The lower off is a twin set of bolts with rings (placed by GG in 2017?)
FA. Gary Gibson 1983.

βeta: Bee colony nesting in a crack a few metres to the side of the lower off. Not a problem but worth being wary of. | βeta? | |
