Can seep so dry days are best. On the other hand it gets very hot in the sunshine.

On the right wing of the crag there are two rare Rock Whitebeam trees, these are some of the only remaining Rock Whitebeam in the Yorkshire Dales and likely represent a genetically distinct population. They are close to the routes Nettle Rash, Britvic Fifty-five and Mettle Nettle. Climber have been reported as damaging one of these by pruning. Under no circumstance should these trees be climbed on or pruned further, regardless of any encroachment onto routes. If climbing and free growth of these trees is not compatible then the affected routes will have to be banned.

 

Rockfax Description
An interesting pitch with a steep final wall. Gain the tree and then move left up to a groove. Climb over the bulge and up the wall to a lower-off next to a large tree. © Rockfax

βeta: Big fresh rock scar at the top with fresh soil flowing down the rock. Lots of loose holds still. Pulled off a few fist size jugs and marked some Xs on the next to go. Also left anchor bolt hanger loose so hand tightened.
