Restricted Access

Access to the crag is sensitive given that is is very close to nearby houses - residents have in the past confronted climbers and asked them to leave.

Please make a particular effort to be quiet at this crag (especially avoiding shouting and bad language), take all litter home with you and don't use the crag or it's surrounds as a toilet. Keeping a low profile here is a good idea to help develop good realtionships with local residents and avoid access issues in the future.

Two useful links for further info are the online version of the Cicerone Leicestershire Climbs guidebook and the new Leicestershire Climbs website.

Rock onto the slab at the lowest point of the overhang (where a crack runs up left) using a small sharp hand hold and a polished foothold, then climb directly up avoiding anything big to the left on forest wall. (basically straight up between route numbers 2 and 4, on the picture in the 1993 guide) - First recorded/climbed by Graeme Hammond on 3rd March 2009 and named after the local university climbing club (Loughborough Students Mountaineering Club) but probably likely to have been climbed before.
