Restricted Access

Fly Wall and Woodcroft Quarry: the current owners have not given permission to climb on this section of crag. If you do climb on this part of the crag, please be careful not to damage any fences in the area.

GO Wall: topping out now allowed year round for all routes from Feline/Jackal leftwards. King Kong ab. bolts removed. No topping out any time for right hand end – ab. stations in place where required. A large rockfall has recently (Jan 2013) been reported at the righthand side of the Pedestal on Go Wall - care should be taken with any remaining loose rock that may still be in place in this area.

North Wall: following a change of ownership of the house above this section of crag, the previous arrangement to exit through it’s garden is not longer possible. Please do not top out on any North Wall routes - only abseil descent from below the top of the crag is allowed. For those who don't wan't to climb above the Great Ledge, an abseil descent can be made from one of the two bolted abseil stations above The Tap or Joe’s Route. Two further abseil stations have been established just below the top of North Wall (using rope slings and rings around trees) allowing the last pitch of the more popular routes to be climbed and an abseil descent to the Great Ledge be made. 

All rock north of the North Buttress and south of Fly Wall is privately owned and all climbing is prohibited.

Rockfax Description
A reasonable outing, the best climbing being on its second pitch Begin as for Heisenberg's Uncertain Reach.
1) 5c, 17m. Climb pitch one of Heisenberg's Uncertain Reach to its belay and then traverse down leftwards to a bolted belay.
2) 6a+, 20m. Move left and ascend a groove and easing wall above to a horizontal break. Climb the wall on the left and either join Still Nice and Still Sleazy, or finish at a bolted lower-off/abseil station on the right (not as good). © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
An entertaining outing linking Heisenberg’s Uncertain Reach to the finish of Still Nice and Still Sleazy. Start on a raised shelf 10m right of Still Nice and Still Sleazy
1 17m F6a [7B] Climb pitch one of Heisenberg’s Uncertain Reach to its double ring belay then traverse carefully down left to a further double ring belay. Take care with the various debris on the slope.
1 20m F6B [12B] Step around to the left and climb the tricky blind groove to better holds. Reach for the welcome narrow ledge then continue up the wall above more easily. At the next large break foot traverse out left and climb the centre of the prominent black wall. Either finish at an optional double ring abseil station on the right or, better, move over to the left and join Still Nice and Still Sleazy taking the left-hand finish straight up the groove.
