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. 

6m.

βeta: Above V Diff. In the book it is a S 4a and I am inclined to agree.

βeta: Hit or miss, soloed it a couple of times but bailed a few as well. Can be downclimbed ok until the zigzag. Felt greasy and polished.

βeta: I also agree with VDiff. I soloed it (not on first go, kept losing my nerve and downclimbing then going up a bit more), and VD is at the very top of my solo grade, only done a few. Quite satisfying! Gear looked okay too.

βeta: Was way above VDiff today, but it had been rainy and misty and it was very greasy. Not easy to get a grip in the zig zag.

βeta: It has the second best hand jams in the world, very reassuring when climbing in the pissing rain.

βeta: I'm glad Jon found this easy. For some reason, out of all the routes on this wall, I always chicken out of soloing this one somewhere near the top. Probably due to the polish.

βeta: Au Contare, Its juggy to start and the zig zag crack has sinker jams which lead to a final jug and victory.
