Restricted Access
This is great easily accessed crag hosting a number of popular lines, but there have been some instances of rockfall here over the years.
Being aware of the possibility of loose rock, it is worth considering wearing a helmet and taking other appropriate precautions to minimise the risk of any potential rockfall.
Anyone climbing here does so at your own risk, as with any other crag.
The 2024 temporary closure has now been lifted.
Rockfax Description
An excellent pitch. Climb the steep lower face to gain a rest on the arete. Finish up the well-positioned wall left of the arete. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
The best route on the crag. A fine pitch leading to the upper arete left of the big Corner. The overhanging lower wall, is climbed via a tenuous crack-line, mostly on good but spaced holds, stepping left near the top to the big ledge. The more technical upper arete is started direct and climbed with a sense of urgency until the top and the lower-off are reached.
