βeta: The New Climbs 1970 by Ian Roper, lists this left hand version as being climbed May 1969 by J. R. Baker & W. Phillips. It notes that due to a number of wedges and peg scars that it appears it was climbed before using artificial means. | βeta? | |

βeta: Top out and cracks fully dug out July 23, hopefully this will stop the route getting as much soil washed down it and make it dry quicker as there is less seepage. Unfortunately the base of the route is still very muddy so until the grass regrows (I might have to plant some) a rope tarp is advisable. It is easy to walk off to the right (facing in) following the path closest to the edge to reach the quarry base by the Eastern Moors compound (with the skips) rather than abseiling off the trees which will damage them and will dislodge soil down the route when you pull your ropes spoiling it for others. For best conditions allow for a day or 2 of dry weather and bit of wind to dry the insides of the cracks out fully. Bring a brush and brush off any build up of dirt being washed down and tree matter and it will stay good. ENJOY | βeta? | |
