Restricted Access

Construction works are currently ongoing as part of a housing development. These include rock works which are expected to affect some climbs. Understandably the construction company has requested that climbers stay out of the construction site for safety reasons. The BMC have requested discussions regarding future access. Update to follow. 

Please do not enter the site during construction works.

Rockfax Description
The modern way of doing the route includes the direct finish. Make a fingery start then move up and left to a section shared with Ground Zero (same moves but two sets of bolts) and a rest. Move back right and finish direct. Originally went further right to the lower-off on Super Direct. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
One of the best 7c's in the Peak with a very fingery start and a sustained upper wall. The initial wall is climbed direct, past small crimps to a good hold, continuing slightly left to twin pockets above a poor ledge. From here the upper wall is accessed by climbing direct via hard moves (just left of the bolt), then trending initially right, before moving back slightly left to the lower off.
