UKC

52m, 3 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A wandering outing up the left flank of the cliff requires a bit of bushwhacking early on, although it improves with some nice climbing higher up. Start by a tree on the approach path.
1) 4a, 20m. Follow the cleaned line between vegetation to the second tree on the wall.
2) 4b, 15m. Trend right across the wall to a niche. Step right out of this, then climb the wall past a bulge to a good, sheltered stance at the break.
3) 4c, 15m. Step left and climb the awkward crack, then slabby rock leftwards to easy ground. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A wandering outing up the left flank of the cliff requires a bit of bushwhacking early on, although it improves with some nice climbing higher up. Follow the approach path to the top, scramble up the steep mud to the edge of the undergrowth, start by a decent sized tree (trunk > 15cm diameter).
1) 4a, 20m. Follow the cleaned line between vegetation, past a decent lone tree at a small ledge to the second lone tree on the wall.
2) 4b, 15m. Trend right across the wall to a niche. Step right out of this, then climb the wall past a bulge to a good, sheltered stance at the break.
3) 4c, 15m. Step left and climb the awkward crack, then slabby rock leftwards to easy ground.

βeta: There was a birds nest in the cave at 2nd belay, but looked like the birds had vacated. We belayed to the left to avoid it as much as possible.

βeta: Repeated the route on 7th July. I have done it a couple of times previously. Needs more traffic especially after the wet winter and spring. There are still good bits of climbing between the veg. An adventurous outing.

βeta: Excellent. Very few routes in the Peak provide this sort of position/exposure at this grade,(applies especially to the middle pitch). Nick Learmont
