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.

20m. From the col, descend west for a couple of metres, then scramble down diagonally leftwards (looking out) for 23m to gain a ledge below a grey wall and just left of a ridge. Climb the grey wall via the thin crack to a ledge. Go rightwards to the ridge and finish up this. After a reasonable start the route eases to a scramble; but all in a fine position.
