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
Climb the corner then shuffle right and make big moves to enter the easier upper crack. Jammed ropes are commonplace here. © Rockfax

βeta: Hardest VS I've been on - harder than Curving Crack and Ellis's Eliminate to name a couple in similar style. It's not that there is a single desperate move, it's that it's sustained from close to start to finish. You arrive at the crux pumped and come out of the crux in an awkward and insecure position - still on your arms. Great line though, but I feel HVS would be a fairer grade. First ascent date is mad! | βeta? | |

βeta: found the upper crack more trickier than the crux move out of the roof but a good climb, worth doing | βeta? | |
