Signed restriction applies to Central and Right-Hand Buttresses.

The Left-Hand Buttress is not restricted, but please only use the descent on the left side of the crag (looking in) and whilst approaching, move quickly and quietly until under the LH Buttress to avoid disturbing the birds.

Rockfax Description
The flared rib and narrowing final black groove is a stunning line that involves some fine but serious climbing. Start at a large block right of the pinnacle at the start of Hiddenite. Get established below a small overhang and move up to a tiny jutting rib. The difficult and sustained wall above (peg) leads to the base of the black groove. Climb the serious groove heading left at its end to finish. © Rockfax
