Restricted Access

Please do not belay to the radar station fence, fence posts or any MoD installations - this could jeopardize climbing at this site. There are natural anchors and stakes where needed. Night firing normally occurs on Tuesday & Thursday but may also alternate to Monday & Wednesday. Note: May 2024, there is a bird nest in the crack above the cave of No Hands. Please avoid the routes ‘Follow the Chalk' and 'No Hands’ until end of July or chicks have fledged. Thanks.

24m.

Rockfax Description
The long corner (the left-hand of a pair) gives nice climbing to a steep finish. One foot may stray into No Hands ... briefly! © Rockfax
