Restricted Access
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.
Seasonal Restrictions
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
Climb the tricky wall (only 5b for the tall and talented) to the break, then step right and head up the slab to a tricky landing. © Rockfax

βeta: Not HVS. Bomber gear at waist height for the crux - a half decent belayer will catch you before you hit deck. | βeta? | |

βeta: HVS 5b. VS 5b is a stupid grade given you could easily deck onto your face if you fluff the boulder problem start. Almost as stupid as the E1 6b another route gets...! | βeta? | |

βeta: Don't forget after the bottom tricky move to the break this route traverses right then up via the sloping mantle. That in my opinion is the crux move. | ||

βeta: one reachy rockover with left hand to break (the lower pockets seeming useless) when left boot in pocket and right fingertips pushing on right most slot, then plain sailing to the flop out. Good solo. | ||

βeta: i agree with steve c, very hard top-out - belly-flop works! no1 rock and an 'rp' protects the start though, only climbed it because of the unusual grade! | βeta? | |

βeta: I think some climbers are missing the fact that the upper section climbs the slab right of Ash Tree Wall...this is not anything like VD. | βeta? | |

βeta: If it feels harder than 5b you must be doing it wrong - honest. | βeta? | |
