UKC Logbook - 'Eyrie'

130m, 3 pitches. This is vegetated in places, particularly at the level of the big roof, which is a shame as it's a fine line up the centre of the crag. Start at a prominent vertical crack in the centre of the lowest part of the buttress, just left of a distinct deep V-gully. Climb the crack to a small ledge. Move rightwards across the wall, then back left and on to a precarious grass ledge (serious). Move right and up a groove to a semihanging stance (30m 5a). move up diagonally right to a crest overlooking a big groove. Gain the upper part of the groove. and climb it (hard very vegetated) to where a delicate traverse left leads to the upper slabs.
a 30m wall of very folded rock lies high on the left sidewalk of the crag, reached early on the descent.
