Restricted Access

Night firing normally occurs on Tues & Thurs but can alternate to Mon & Wed.

Seasonal Restrictions

Dates: 1 March to 1 August

Reason: Nesting Birds

The climbs between Hororscope and Galactic Coordinator inlusive can only be reached by abseil during 1st March to 1st August (don't scramble in from the west as this approach encroaches on the restriction to the west).There is also a nesting season restriction (1st Mar - 1st Aug) covering Star Control to Rabbit Ripper inlcuding all 3 girdle traverses. This includes Deep Throat. 

 

45m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
A superb route which follows the groove which runs up the left-hand side of the main overhangs and then blasts out to an exposed position on the front edge of the buttress. Start below the long tapering groove.
1) 4c, 30m. Climb a steep wall into the main groove and follow this to a large ledge to the left of the main roofs.
2) 5a, 15m. Climb diagonally right across the wall, past a flake, to a niche. Move right again to the arete then pull up into a larger niche and finish up a steep crack. © Rockfax

βeta: One of my all time favourite solos..tricky off-putting bulge a short way up the first pitch and utterly spectacular positions on the top pitch. Remember it's not bird banned as long as you abseil in.
