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
A stunning line that culminates in the ascent of the bottomless corner high on the wall. Start at a short wall below a tree on a large ledge. Climb the wall to the ledge. Move up to a peg on the right, then back left and up to an overhanging square-cut niche. Take the crack and wall above to a niche in the break below the upper corner (thread). Enter the corner with difficulty and climb it to the top (pegs). © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
A superb pitch.

βeta: I did it ground up, so it must have been clean. I remember a rotting piece of troll rainbow sling on one of the pegs. Perhaps the safest E6 in the Lakes, done it most years since 2005. Total class.
