Restricted Access

The main Woodwell crag is unrestricted. The National Trust have recently joined in partnership with the BMC to reinstate access to three bouldering areas on Woodwell O'ert Road on a trial basis: Wolf Buttress, Troll Buttress and Cave Buttress. Climbers are welcome to come and enjoy the bouldering on the three designated areas but please observe the following conditions when visiting: 1. For ecological reasons, bouldering is only permitted on the three designated areas. Climbers should not proceed past Cave Buttress - this will be marked with a sign. 2. Dogs are not allowed. 3. Climbers must not enter the field directly below the rock.

From under the roof below the micro route, climb the diagonal crack via a hold in the crack and a poor side-pull to decent holds in the vague break. The original version started matched on a triangular pod at the back, this is 8a although footholds come and go!

If climb the crack starting right at the back (from a large inverted triangular pocket) this is 8a. Lanky types can climb the roof direct from the triangular pocket via a BIG span to a good hold and up to the break, this is 7c/+.
