βeta: Best to follow the advice of both current guidebooks and start up the chimney to the left rather than pull loads of blocks off the wall above the belay.

βeta: The Towel of Babel routes are best belayed off the ground rather than the ledge suggested in the Northern Limestone guide. The 'scramble' to the ledge isn't trivial and can be a bit loose. There is an in-situ sling at the back of the tower for an easy abseil descent.
