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
Layback the curving black flake and swing around the corner to a ledge. The upper arete is a worrying contrast. The upper arete can be climbed on the left - Kiss Me My Darling, E2 5c. The lower arete can be climbed on the right to give a tough direct start, Too Good to be Forgotten, f6A. © Rockfax

βeta: Slightly awkward crux getting around the arete, yes, but the nice short intro, and then the excitement of trying not to over-balance on the arete make it all worthwhile. Two ropes might be recommended, as the gear behind the lower flake, and on the arete isn't reassuring, whereas being able to use the gear placements in the bottom of the ledge and out right would be very useful. Hard E1! | ||

βeta: Good route. No other E1 has taken me three attempts. The move off the middle height ledge to gain the arete is brilliant. | βeta? | |

βeta: Fantastic route, good mix of brute and technical. Flake is solid at the top, more than enough for a cam. Getting off the ledge really took some thinking about, and several false starts - probably harder for us shorties (as always). | ||
