Restricted Access

The Willersley area is owned by the Arkwright Society. It is essential that climbers do not block gateways with parked cars and that disturbance is keep to a minimum. Access negotiations have been on-going between the BMC and the Arkwright Society, and climbers continue to access the crag. If you are asked to leave, please remain courteous and report the incident to the BMC.

 

Sit start matched on the low rail and climb direct, up into the groove left, finish by the break. Using a small left crimp on the lip at the start reduces it to 6c/V5. An excellent problem

βeta: Starting with the lower left crimp feels like the natural start and about font 6a. Forcing this one to start matched on the right crimp (a higher start, on a hold not really big enough to match on) seems daft, and might just bump it into font 6b but make it a poorer problem. Never seen 7a, let alone two stars, in a month of sundays.

βeta: One of the key footholds is loose and needs to be glued back on. It's still attached, but can be removed and replaced.
