Restricted Access

One of the more convenient and quick-drying crags in the area. Good sport climbing as well as a reasonable selection of trad routes. The popular routes tend to be polished, especially the starts of those on the Lower Lift.

Whitebeams (a rare species of tree) grow on the crag and are an important feature of the SSSI. Please do not cut any trees on or around the crag without gaining permision first as this could result in access issues in future. If you want to carry out cleaning which involves trees, please contact the BMC access team first through access@thebmc.co.uk.

Dates: 15 February to 15 June

βeta: Worthwhile if short-lived. Placing gear felt unnecessary after clipping four bolts on the left. Falling off while clipping the LO is not advisable but you are in a solid position. E1 5b / F6b
