No access problems. The area is part of the Eastern Edges SSSI designated for its assemblage of breeding birds - please make sure dogs are under control to protect birds and sheep: the grazier has reported losses.
Reason: Nesting Birds
Ring ouzel nest sites change quickly and frequently as they often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any of the nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.
Rockfax Description
The narrow slab has a couple of nice moves. No side-runners at this grade, or award yourself an HVS if you are tempted. © Rockfax

βeta: I thought the moves on the upper slab was fairly easy for 5c, not sure it was 5b though. However the gear was severely lacking (unless you use side runners in the cracks which would bring the grade down to about HVS). The moves on the slab were very nice though virtually unprotected. | βeta? | |
