UKC

25m. A classic hidden gem route - tranquil location, strong line, varied climbing, and even a mini-summit experience. 3 stars as per the guide. Climb the blatant wide crack by it's slabby sidewall (top end of the grade for initial boldness) to the shoulder. Belay here or be careful to extend runners. Continue up the edge of the buttress via a wall, slab, and groove, all in fine position.

βeta: The crag is on private land and there is no permitted access or right of way to reach it. However it is easily reached from the public right of way above it and low profile visits are unlikely to be problematic as it is located in secluded woodland. This approach is different from other older guides which use a longer and more problematic approach. Park at on the bend at OS Map ref: SX 10580 79310 or  https://maps.app.goo.gl/D2auefd7B2HVqdno6 where a public right of way leads NW across grass farmland. After around 450m there is a faint path on the right going NE/N. Follow this for about 500m to the edge of the woodland overlooking the valley where the top of the top of the Devil's Jump is visible.  Access the top of the Jump via a short section of bracken bashing from the edge of the grasslands and descend to the base of the routes.

βeta: Spoke to the owner of the farm and cottages on the approach, who said although he doesn’t own the land with the crag, he wasn’t aware of any restrictions on climbing there from his neighbour
