The landowner does not permit climbing on this site and all details are recorded to preserve the historical record. This site has been the subject of a major rockfall in the past when the back wall collapsed and whilst the front faces look OK, significant fissures behind them may make them seriously unstable. Following this large rockfall, a fence has been erected below the cliff to prevent public access.

βeta: The 'prominent crack' rather inconveniently ends at a blank section below the hanging tat (peg) near the top. Clipping the tat is ok but its a massive reach to the thin break above which I (5' 9ish) couldnt get near. Its possible to pull right into Big Thing Coming, make half a move up, reach the break and swing back left to the peg and finish direct. Maybe 5c that way. Great route. | ||
