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.
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.

βeta: The start is worthwhile but the start moves at the top are pointless and technical and unprotected. Better to move in for the last moves from the right or use siderunners. | βeta? | |

βeta: Don't understand the grading of this one at all... Unless you move right away from the arrete, to the back of the grassy ledge, the gear is a shocking distance away from the harder higher moves | βeta? | |

βeta: This is lethal at VS. The move from the ledge has no gear unless you use a side runner and the move is not trivial. If you fell you would be lucky to stay on the ledge. | βeta? | |
