βeta: Now cleaner as of May 21st. Neat route and a good warm up for the harder ones. Got rid of a few wobbly bits, replaced the tat, peg is in good condition, undug some decent cam placements, put a rope in the topout, clipped some branches. Should be a bit more fun now. There is a birdsnest in the very top at the mo, so I'll also put a lower on the tree in the next days. | ||

βeta: Managed to lead all the way to the very harrowing vegetated top out without pulling anything off (top out rope might make this more sane), did fancy lowering off the tree stump. I removed a couple of extremely loose and dangerous blocks out the top crack on abseil virtually by just touching them on the way down! but there is potentially a lot more that could come out so take care. A big silver cam useful as noted below for the top of the wider top crack but also some good wires around too. If cleaned up fully it could be a classic routes. | βeta? | |

βeta: Lowered off tree stump on ledge, top crack very loose, would probably be ok with no4 Camelot. Climbing up to their is great, super pumpy filthy jugs, the hum of the substation and smell of the decomposing deer adding to the ambiance. | βeta? | |

βeta: Top out has a vicious briar - beware. Better if there were a lower off at the tree after the bulge. | βeta? | |
