Restricted Access
No access problems. The area is part of the Eastern Edges SSSI designated for its assemblage of breeding birds - please make sure dogs are under control to protect birds and sheep: the grazier has reported losses.
Seasonal Restrictions
Reason: Nesting Birds
Ring ouzel nest sites change quickly and frequently as they often have several broods each year with different nest sites for each brood. On site signage will be up around any of the nest sites where climbing may impact on the birds and this is always up to date and accurate.
Rockfax Description
The roof crack via a jam and jugs is easiest if you stay out from the crack as much as possible. A knee-bar might be of help. © Rockfax

βeta: One of the very few routes you absolutely have to jam on... Boulder problem, not a route, but a fairly hard one for 5b. | βeta? | |

βeta: This is a bomb proof jam followed by a large jug. VS 4c in my book. | βeta? | |

βeta: Just "accidentally" soloed this while demonstrating how to get the hand jam in on the lip. "Then you can get your foot up, grab the break and... oops!" Certainly went a lot smoother as a solo than when I led it and I think once you've got the good breaks you could probably jump off easily enough. Such a nice route... I was keen to do this ever since seeing Best Forgotten Art. | βeta? | |

βeta: It's a nice boulder problem... Much easier if you don't faff about with ropes and gear! | βeta? | |

βeta: I think this really only deserves VS. It is a one-move wonder (5b is about right), but it's as safe as houses with a big cam stuffed up the crack. And after that it isn't even moderate. Nice though, I'd give it a star... | βeta? | |
