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. 

10m.

βeta: Didn't find it sustained. Two 5 meter sections of climbing separated by a 20 minute ponder on the ledge. Crux for me was working out which part of my body to jam without knocking my pro out of the way. Upper section was a romp on very positive side holds.

βeta: A Nice route! Good gear placements. Finish provides the dilema: be bold or place gear getting tired. Not desperate for VS 4b IMHO - try Mutiny Crack if you want bold/desperate.
